Stock cams with GSC valvesprings and retainers

Hi all,

I'm getting my 4G63 cylinder head machined so I'm planning to get GSC valve springs and retainers installed while at it.

Would there be any issues running GSC 5040 Beehive springs and retainers with stock cams?

I will be upgrading to GSC S2 cams later on in the future.

Won't be an issue at all.

But Hey, from a practical point of view, it will be much less expensive, overall, to get the cams as well.

You have to get the whole thing done at once! (thats just my way of doing these types of mods)

That's the smart thing to do. Installing cams are easy but valve springs are tedious. Good thinking!

I agree with you!
I too am currently buying/collecting these types of parts as I go so that I can have everything installed at once. Not to discourage the original poster but I would consider having the cams installed as well if the budget permits.

Clearly it's not in the budget or this thread wouldn't exist...
