First 318 build, cam question

Comp does NOT have a "Drop in spring" for any MoPar period.
Crane cams do.
Comps need machine work on the head before use.

Sorry bud, but the 901-16 is a drop in spring. I don't know where you got your info, but it's wrong. I have used them with zero mods several times. Their big block counter part is the 911-16. No head mods whatsoever with either spring. Look it up on the Comp site. No footnotes whatsoever. They drop in perfectly.
