Doing cam install. Garbage valve spring compressor slipped while holding spring and retainer. I can't find my retainer anywhere!
Question is, I'm using Alex's parts springs, locks, seats and retainers. I believe they're typical 7 degree 1.270 o.d and .670 i.d.
Alex's is closed for Sunday.
Question- the stock retainer fits perfectly but is not quite as stout or thick. Can I reuse the stock retainer or do I need to wait til tomorrow?
