Default Patriot Gold Valve springs HELP

I need the measurement for the titanium retainers on a set of patriot gold springs. I am upgrading to different cam and springs and want to reuse the patriot retainers and locks.

Hoping someone on here has uninstalled set and calipers that can give me the measurements I need or any links? So I don't have to pull my truck down to measure.



A and B are very important. Thanks

Went ahead and pulled a retainer and measured it. I'm going to answer this for reference for anyone else that runs into the same situation. The retainers measure A) 1.24, B) .92 and C) .671. Total depth for the super locks is .415.

Did you find some springs to go with your retainers? I'm in the same boat.

My Platinum springs will drop right into the original Gold and Xtreme components.

My Platinum springs are a huge step up from the Gold springs. With almost 160 lbs on the seat they'll control almost any cam lobe, yet with just under 400 lbs open they won't damage valve tips when using stock rocker arms.

They're $129 a set of 16 shipped anywhere in the US.

All of our RPM LS duals will fit that retainer. Our retainer measures A1.300, B0.9400, and C0.680 It is not exact but will work.
