Default PRC gold springs

I bought the PRC gold springs kit with my cam from Texas Speed this past week. My question is, do I need to run the new valve seals with the these valve springs? If I need to, how hard is it to install the valve seals?

Since you are changing the springs it would be silly not to change the seals. All you do is pull of the old seal with a pair of pliers and seat the new one with the appropriate diameter socket. Piece of cake.

well since the prc golds are doubles, you pretty much have too. Since you have to change the seats. The stock seal is attached to the seat...they are supposed to come with seals mine did anyway.

I appreciate the responses. The cam kit that I bought came with the new seals. I just didn't know if it would be a PITA to change the seals or not. Thanks guys.

You have to change the seals because you have to change the Spring Seats as well with these springs.
