Default Help on this please (head spring question)

Do the L92 heads factory springs are the same that comes on 243 casting heads? Can I use L92 springs in a 243 LS2-LS6 head?

Default L92 Heads/Springs

I put Manley Beehive springs on my L92 heads. They were made for LS1/6 heads.

Why would you want to put the stock L92 springs on a LS2/6?

I'ts just that I'm buying some 243 heads that have L92 springs and I just want to know if them are the same springs (on 243 and L92 heads).

The L92 and regular LSX production heads can use the same springs.
