Hi,
Discovered I had a cracked valve spring retainer. Using mugen valve springs. Anyone else experience this before? Are there after-market retainers that are better to use with these springs?
valve spring retainer cracked, anyone see this before....

cracked valve spring retainer
Yup, I got the springs from Kingmotor sports.
Today I found out from a relative that the mugen springs are just stock springs but picked to make a matching set.
Anyway, I had stock retainers in there and one cracked.
Luck the valve didn't fall through and bust things up more.
I had reved it to near 10k accidentally.
I usually stop at 9100.
So i'm putting in titanium retainers.

Yea get better retainers for sure. I have heard of folks with regular Interga selling there stock springs making claim they are Mugen and people actually bought them. Me, I would never buy a used spring for a motor I plan to run hard you know.
But anyway, sorry to hear about that man, keep us posted
