Cool, good enough for me. Thanks Phil.

I have spoken with one mechanic who is a little leary of the damper on these 980 Comp springs... the damper can ride on the boss around the valve guide and grind metal off of it. Anyone hear of this before or have any long-term experience with these springs? The damper OD is large enough (barely) to fit over the boss, but it has fairly sharp edges and I could see how this might be possible, as the damper is free to move up and down inside the spring.

OK, I called Comp Cams tech line and they said they knew of no such problems. Good enough for me.
