I'm getting the parts together to replace my valve springs and had a question about the valve locks. My new springs will require -0.050 locks and was wondering whether to get 7 or 10 degree locks. Also does anyone have any recommended manufacturers for valve locks? The vendor who I bought the springs from is supplying them with height measurements for 85 and 90lbs. I still have a stock cam but am using VR1 oil and zddp additive. Does 90lbs allow plenty of margin, or should I play it safe and shim the springs for 85lbs? These are the parts I already have or are on their way:
