Gerry and I made good progress tonight. Got the PC's on and torqued down the heads. It now makes a really cool Woop, woop when you turn it. Damn near made me giddy

Those retainers are not too bad after you get the handg of them. Your best friend is a small pocket screwdriver and a dental pick (I'm sure Dave has one of those :-)

They pop in and out easily after you do it several thousand times.

The reason we use them is because they stay put! Some engines get a double set of them to hold the pin even better or they get a chamfered wrist pin that actually forces the lock out as it pushes against the retainer.
