Default Patriot springs on ET heads?

How are you guy's installing them? The ET spring's have thicker seats and the seat hole(for valve guide)is bigger than the Patriots. I was thinking of reussing the seats but I'm afraid of the springs moving a rubbing against the seal.

Sounds like you need the large i/d locators . The two common spring seat id's are .510" and .570". I can swap you a set if you need.

Richard is right (we know he never gets tired of hearing that lol). You have a spring kit with the .505" ID locators which are for use on stock guides. You need a set of the .565" locators for the bronze guides. No biggie, just let us know and we can get them swapped for you.
