need help trying to find valve spring retainers I bought a cam and valve springs from a friend that I want to put in my 5.3 s10. the problem is I only have the springs and I need the retainers and locks. the valve springs are psi 1512ml dual springs. this is a stock 99 silverado 5.3 with 862 heads. I tried calling psi springs themselves and they said that their retainers and locks are all that will work and they were really expensive. just wondering if anyone else knows if any other retainers and locks will fit this spring that isn't so expensive.
I believe these will work: http://www.briantooleyracing.com/tit...c-springs.html
You'll also need these: http://www.briantooleyracing.com/spr...060-thick.html
And these: http://www.briantooleyracing.com/ls-valve-seal-kit.html
STOCK VALVE SEALS WILL NOT WORK.

Most retainers will not work with that spring as the steps will be larger than the ID's of the springs. You need to use either the PAC-R355, R455 or 655. These use the standard LS locks. As Brian said, you need new seals and seats as the stockers will not work with that spring. PAC-S121 for stocks and PAC-S141 for bronze.
