5/16 locks on an 8mm valve stem?????
Has anyone done this? The makers of xceldyne retainers and locks are telling me it's ok and that with the psi spring I bought I have to run their retainer with this spring and that they only make 1 lock for that retainer due to it being a 7* top lock. Said that the difference between the 5/16 and the 8mm are close enough to be safe. Any input from y'all would be great including sponsors. Are any dealers for these brands?

All I can say is, I just found out yesterday that the battery cable bolts are 5/16". I've been using 8mm for years and years on the 7 I've had, and the two GM trucks I've had
