reusing prc dual springs and pushrods hey guys im planning on doing a single turbo. right now my car is cam only with torquer 2 and i have upgraded the valvetrain along with it. ( ported tsp ls6 oil pump, billet timing chain, chromoly pushrod, ls7 lifters, springs) I am going to take out my cam and replace it with a mild turbo cam, something along the line of speedinc tu0 or tu1 or tick stage 1 turbo cam. i will be replacing my lifter with new ones but i was wondering if its ok to reuse my prc dual springs and pushrods if they check out fine? total miles on valvetrain is roughly 55-60k miles on them and will upgrade my heads to 317 casting. the car runs really well

As long as the springs check out fine and are still the correct open/closed pressures, there probably isn't any reason not to re-use them.
That said. If you have it apart and are replacing parts already, and they have 50K plus miles on them, I'd replace them just as preventative maintenance.

I'd prob throw in new springs while your in there and buy the comp cams pushrod length measuring tool for like $20 from ws6store or texasspeed to make sure your pushrods will be the right length with the new heads
