Default Valve Spring Question
Tripp and I recently did a cam swap on his car and put manley springs and retainers on it. But the springs that were in it had orange stripes on them Cause i know when i put new pushrods in mine the springs didnt have anything on them. Does anybody think that they might be aftermarket? I know comp has like 3 different color stripes for their springs. I was thinking of taking them to a shop and having them checked out. What do you guys think?

If you look close, you can see an orange stripe on this spring. It is a stock LS1 spring I took off of a 02 T/A.

The stock springs on my '00 Z. I got to see them this weekend during my h/c install. They had an orange stripe on them too.
