Default questions about valve locks

i have tea 5.3 heads with the origional 987 dual springs and titanium retainers on them.....im putting a set of PRC duals on tomarrow, and was wondering if TEA uses stock LS1 locks with their 987 dual springs....if not should i reuse these or buy new stockers at the dealer?

I'd reuse the stockers if they don't have many miles on them. I reused mine.

Who knows,
I'd inspect them with a magnifier and if OK put them back in the same order/valve they came out from.
IMO for the price, I'd get new ones.
