The rockers will be going away to hopefully live a long productive life inside a basically stock engine. They will be sold to help finance rocker shafts and additional required machine work. Watch for them in the "Other Pontiac Parts for Sale section".

The 2 spare valve springs I have pictured below don't have chamfers on either end.
