Well my 941's took a crap today #6 cylinder valve spring went out on me.

What kind of springs would you guys recommend. I'm running a T1 cam.

Thanks.

Sorry to hear the bad news , The Isky 295D's are excellent springs and they use the same retainers as your 941's.

The Isky springs are more expensive than the Comp Cams one, but are far better quality.

Will the isky's fit just fine on my heads or do they need to be modified. Also can I just replace the broken spring with the Isky's or do I have to replace all of them.

Thanks.

Hey man! How's the car doing otherwise? I wonder if I broke a spring on my LT1...if you'll recall back when i was running WAY rich and had that "thunk thunk" sounding idle...

54-VS1116 REV Dual Valve Springs, 1.25" OD (For stock spring pocket) Must use with 54-SC221 Hardened Seats & 54-TR9814 Titanium Retainers
$139.99


54-SC221 REV Hardened Spring Seats for 54-VS1116 1.25" Double Valve Springs
$44.99


54-TR9814 REV Titanium Retainers for 54-VS1116 1.25" Double Valve Springs
$149.99


from TR website

Might be worth asking around about as it appears it would be only a little more ~$335than the Isky set up ~$250. Duals might be worth the extra $85

Hey Chris, whats up man.

Trust me you didn't break a valvespring.

The car hardly even moves with the valvespring broken and it idles below 500 the car will shut off unles you have it in gear and giving it gas. Very bad stuff.
