i was unsure. i was told that the ls7 springs would be a direct swap over on a ls1 car and with out rockers it would be pushing down on the retainer not on the valve.
any ideas why?

Your rocker arms are most likely going to hit the retainer. The tip of the valve is sitting low compared to the retainer. Mock it up before you install the heads. If you got it apart, try using your stock retainers and locks to see how they sit.
The locator which I think the way you are showing it. Is under the factory style seal. They are most likely using it as a shim to correct the installed height. The locator is hardened so the spring can ride on it and not chew through it.
Or if you want to give me a call or shoot me a pm your not that far from us.
Thank you,
Craig

i understand there is no need for many people responding to thus saying the same thing. im just wondering if anyone can tell off the top of their head why the valve is sitting under the top of the retainer.
