I have decided to go with a crane energizer cam and would like to get the matching valve springs. Jegs sells the valve spings alone and a kit that has springs and retainers. Do I need to get the retainers or will my stock retainers work with the new springs?

Be sure to check your spring heights & pressures. Even new springs can vary quite a bit.
