LS Valve Spring Question
 
Ok so im trying to find a cheap set of Valve springs for a LS head. My question is can u swap out springs with say a B16 or GSR? Port flows web site shows LS need a diffrent spring base witch is $60 is that the only diff? Any Info on a cheap set would help :6

LS FTW :l

I already asked JD he says he just gets all his valve train for free. I have a bunch of Misc DOHC Vtec springs and a spare LS head Im going to see if i can get something to work O0

I have a set of dual spring b16 springs and an old set of LS springs...I'll measure the height and see what I come up with. I do believe you can use the b16 or gsr springs, just as long as you have a cam that doesn't go over 0.400 lift. Check out this thread for a little more info, even though I know how much you guys *hate* H-T...http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/1803606

just throw in some vtec b series inner springs inside your existing outter springs and call it a day.

I believe you can use b16 springs on the intake but not the exh. cause on ls heads the int. and exh. springs are different lengths. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, Rocket Motorsports has stronger single valvesprings for like $170 or something.

Well I'm pretty positive about b16 springs working on the intake side.
