Default Do these look like 918's?

Bought these from a member on here, and was told they were 918's.

Well, they were delivered yesterday and this is what I got





Now, I know the 918's have the painted blue stripe. These have a grey strip.

I looked up the part number 924-16 with crane cams and do not see it. Did a google on it, and found this

The ones I got do not look like the ones in the links. Anyone got any ideas? I am trying to get springs for my TR230 cam.

Those look like the stripe 918's have after they've been run in an engine. The blue stripe isn't permanent when exposed to heat and oil.

That spring # doesn't show up in the LS1 section of the Comp catalogue.

Orginal PM:
I have some 918's with tit retainers.I live in Lufkin 120 miles north up 59. 100.00 Come and get them. Here all weekend. 936-xxx-xxxx Adam
I pm'd him a pic of the 918's and he said that was them.

Yes that is what they are.They are exact replacement, you can install them with the heads on the car.
I pm'd him this morning and waiting for a reply. Just wanted to make sure they were 918's. Was concerned when the box has a different number on it.

The 924 is at dual spring for a big block chevy. 920 is the outer and 974 is the inner. You have the right springs...wrong box...no biggie.
