I'm thinking about installing one of these 2 Comp Cams:
216 / 220 .525 / .532 114 LSA
212 / 218 .522 / .529 114 LSA

Would the '02 LS6 springs work okay with these cams? Also, do the spring seats need to be changed with the '02 LS6 springs? When I did a search, someone mentioned that you need the '02 seats to get the installed height correct. The rev limiter is going to stay stock, at least for now. I really won't get much by raising it with these cams anyway. The reason I'm thinking about going with the LS6 springs is to keep the valvetrain noise down.

Thanks!

 

I'm running the 216/220 225/232 Comp Cam with the '02 LS6 springs. Been using them since June and no problems at all. Did not have to change anything else.

 

running 02" springs with small 218/224 .528/.535 since early december, no problems, several times to the track...

They are thicker than the 98-01 LS1 spring seat and will correctly set the installed height. 02 LS6 engines use the same seal/seat that the 02 LS1's use.

 

Thanks for the replies guys! After checking the part numbers, I found the 01 and 02 LS1 springs were the same. So I'm assuming the 01 LS1 spring seat will give the same installed height as the 02 LS1/6 valve seal/spring seat combo. If not, it shouldn't be far off. Of course, if the 02 valve seal/seat is cheaper than the 01 valve seal, I may just get it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
