Patriot Gold Spring Kit Son Of A Bitch! Help!!! ........so i spend an entire day doing a valve spring swap kit on my factory ls1 heads to the patriot gold kit it goes perfectly until i get to no joke the very last spring and one lock for the spring is the wrong one. so i spend the rest of the next day (my day off) trying to find the RIGHT aftermarket beadlock style locks. i order some in town from a manley dealer after they look at it and decided to order me a set of locks for one valve.

If you can't get a hold of him by tomorrow afternoon send me a PM. My car is going to be down for the next month or so anyway. I'll send you a few locks till you can get some new ones.

X and I thought you may be in TX. Our UPS has run. Try calling AFR and getting a hold of Mamo and see if he will send you out a pair of the Super 7 valve locks. It's only 1:30 there and they should be able to ship. I will replace the locks to him. . .tell him per Chris Straub. This way you can get your rig back running.
