Default Are ls1 valve locks the same as valve locks off a 317 head?

I lost a damn valve lock while pulling my springs in the middle of my cam swap and can't find it anywhere. I need a spare lock by tommarow and the only thing I can think of right now is barrowing some of my friends 317 heads, but I don't know if they are the same as ls1 locks or not? Can anybody help me here plz!?

That would depend on the spring setup used.

I am using the prc .650's and I'm suposed to just reuse the stock ls1 locks with these. So if the stock 317 locks are the same as the stock ls1 locks than I will be able to use his.

I'm 99% sure the stock locks are the same on both heads.

Stock for stock, they use the same lock (sorry, had to rhyme that one)!
