Had a conversation with a speedway bloke a few years back, and I seem to remember him saying that ls1 valve springs, retainers ect will fit the astron valves. Any one here that can confirm that? Hell, even if you've been told the same but haven't tried it.

Would be nice to know for sure, there's a set for sale nearby at a reasonable price. The best part is the one set will do two motors

I've got 3 motors to play around with (multiple sigmas) so it works for me. And as I like to fiddle with things, spares are always handy

To be completely honest I haven't got around to fitting a set yet, so much going on lately I've barely had time to scratch my arse, let alone fiddle with sigmas..... Soon though...

How did you end up going mate? Behive springs sound like a great edition to my astron.. Did they fit the bill?
