Are all L92 valve springs the same? Do L92 springs work w/LY6?
I want to replace one of my stock valve springs, and I see pace has L92/L76 valve springs at just over a couple of bucks and I want to know if this also works for my L96 (LY6) engine? Anybody know?
thx!

I'd call MAST or TSP.

I was able to have the GM online store look up the right one, so I'm covered. It was only a bit over $2, so I ordered one to replace the one I have w/a bit of rust on it from oil cap off in case I keep stock valve springs. Anybody know how much lift the stock beehives are good for? Mast said I didn't need new springs with the mild cam they have for my L96; would love to believe that.
