Valvetrain Upgrade

I bought a Cam Kit from a member here...it includes a cam shaft, springs and pushrods. I was wondering if I needed to buy retainers, locks and seats, or not?

depends on the size of the cam really, been told by many people. bigger you go, the more valuable/necessary retainers etc, will be. i have the tr224 and only had to to do pushrods and springs
