Hi all,
My 2.0 engine rebuild is pretty finished. We choose Webcam #86a camshaft (valve lift .435 & 290° duration), Webcam 00-263 new lifters, chromoly new pusrods, Webcam VS-P00 new HD springs and shims. Webcam said "stock retainers OK" but my mechanic found that stock retainers did not fit correctely. So, he took alumium retainers and put them as you can see below. (IMG:http://flat4ever.com/modules/newbb/pics/retainers.jpg) But when I show the picture to some friends, they told me that alumium retainers could break. The problem is that the engine is in the car now and if I decide to change them, we need to remove heads. I would like to have any advice about the real risk with these retainers. |
