You don't normally get locks with valve spring kits. Either use your old ones or buy a new set which is what I always do. You can get 32 for $20-$25.

The PRC kits use stock GM valve locks. I install them all the time.

The parts breakdown is:
8x Dual Spring Package
8x Lower Spring Seat (locator)
8x Valvespring Retainers (stock lock style)
8x Valve Stem Seals

We've had the best luck with stock locks so that's the way the PRC spring kit is shipped

Enjoy those springs

Jason what is the cost of the spring kit?

I need to replace mine as I have 90 plus passes on my current springs with a +.600 lift cam
