Any Good Replacement Springs for the CC 941s?
I have two years and about 8000 miles on my Agostino Racing Stage II heads with Comp Cam 941 springs. No problems yet.
The 941s have a history of failure and I would like to replace them with a more reliable single spring or better yet a double spring.
What are my options without pulling and remachining the heads?
Thank You

Try the new Crane dual springs. They drop in the stock spring pocket wihtout machining, and in all the stuff I've read and my own experience everyone loves them and hasn't had any trouble with them.

I had ARE Stage II heads and broke a comp cam 941 spring. This happened 1 1/2 years ago. I looked into replacements and not much was available.
My ARE heads had 2.08 X 1.60 valves. Some of the replacement options at the time (that required no machine work on the heads) were:
***Comp Cams 26918 - would not work - the retainer would not work with the large valves.
***K-Motion - these would work but I would not trust them
Currently there are several "drop-in" dual springs that MAY work. It will depend on your valve size. Maybe one of these will work.
I would call Thunder Racing and ask them.
Hope this helps.

I'm wonder what kind of springs i have they were cheap i spose.
They look like a normal spring, but theres a flat (as in width = very thin) spring that is at a different curvature sitting inside the spring.
Like someone stuck a spring-shaped washer inside the spring, with no apparent markings of welding or direct connection.
It doesnt look like the springs you guys have ever posted pics of. the force of the wind of this spring seems to be whats holding it inside the main outer spring which is as i said like a normal spring.

you need to measure the valve stem diameter. If they are 8-mm valves, then you can use any LS1 spring out there. If they were larger (don't recall the size they used) then you are limited to a 941 style spring as other retainers won't work with your valve
