So I have a valve spring problem, not a head problem The Comp 918s I bought are NOT comp 918.
Spec wise they are identical to stock. But they were cast gray with a yellow paint stripe on them, brand new in a comp 918 box, still had plastic wrapping and all.
I bought them from a member and am waiting to see if I can get a receipt from where he bought them.
Any ideas what else I should do? The springs are new and unused other than having been put on a set of heads but I don't know how long they have been purchased.

Comp 918's only come in two colors from what I've seen. The original are bare steel with a blue stripe. The new version looks like a silver coating with no stripe.
Thanks,

No stripe, looks like bare steel
The springs I have are identical to stock springs. Mic the same diameter, same number of coils, ect. They are new though and you can tell they're never been run.
I guess I got fucked.

There are lots of good members here, you just need to loook at their feedback.
Vendors are a good choice on here, but I have to say before I became a vendor I sold all my old stuff on here and never a complaint from anyone. Very sorry for your experience, if I can help let me know.
If you want I'll cut you an even better deal on the 1218's to make up for this. Shipping plus $10 over cost sound good?
Ive done a lot of dealing on here 100+ and been hoodood only one time . But i know how you feel, and i steal remember that once!!! But trust me not all of use are bad to deal with, Hell most of the stuff i get from member are better then they describe. So dont let one guy get you down ,because there are a lot of damn good deals on here. Plus check there feed back.....

well it wasn't the guy I got them from, it was someone he got them from
they were at 75lbs installed on the heads...supposed to be 1.800
point is on one head i had stock springs and on another the new ones...using the same tool i watched him go from one head to the other and take the same measurement
he shimmed a couple and only got the pressure up to 100lbs
