so i pull out the box of 918's yesterday that was suposed to have brand new stock springs in it...i notice a blue stripe on all of them and thought i remembered 918's were suposed to have a blue stripe???
do stock springs have a stripe??? if so what color? tell me i didnt remove the 918's from my heads and install the stockers!

HAHA good thing i didnt sell these 918's thinkin they were stock
the springs got mixxed up because whoever my buddy bought the crate lq9 from already put the 918 springs in the motor and put the stockers in the 918 box, so when we were putting the LQ9 into the cammaro and stripped down the 317 heads i figured i was pulling the stock springs out so i just threw them in a ziplock.
for those who dont know i bought my motor and 918 springs together but the heads on 2 motors had to come apart and the springs got mixxed up at that point.
here i was thinkin i had the hardest part of a cam swap already done
i suck at life
