It is not a big deal.
Just get a C-clip spring clamp (old style) and change them.
think of it this way, you got an extra set of LS6 springs for your labor fee. You can sell those and recup some $$.

We install springs on the heads when they're ordered all together!

I dont understand.

If you ordered the heads and selected the comp 918 springs option they should have came installed and had a blue stripe on them.

If you ordered them seperate then they would not be installed but should have a blue stripe. I think some of the ls6 springs are yellow depending on the year.

If you already received the 918's when you ordered the cam then you must have ordered them separate.

I am confused here.
