Hi guys, i dont post much as i can usually find all my answers in previos posts. I have researched putting comp cams beehives and thought i was all good. The parts i purchased were:
26120-16 springs
4696-16 seats
795-16 retainers
617-16 locks

I tried installing these today and the seats are too big and dont fit in the machined seat on the head. I was at the understanding these would fit with no issues from reading previous posts. The stock seat is approx 1 3/8" dia. And the 4696 seat say 1.51" on the side of the box.
Is there a different seat i can use? Or do i need to return these and order a set of beehives from irate or swamps at a higher cost? Thanks in advance for the help.

I would have to look up the part number but I used factory seats on my beehives
I tried the fit and it seemed sloppy. I solved it by ordering irate's springs. Their spring seat is 1.48" dia that will fit opposed to the 1.51" that is the size of the 4696 comp cam spring seat. So to those who say these are a drop in fit.......well they dont drop in a 1997 block. Just an fyi.
