Valve spring retainer

Posted by Thomas Wilcox On 2008/12/26 19:12:14

Dear All,

I'm putting the valve springs back together, and I found an upper spring retainer that is missing it's 'top'. I'm not sure if it had it when I pulled the springs out, or if it came off during the last few months. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the upper retainer requires this bit. So,

1) Does anyone know a source for spring retainers for a 1930 standard eight engine?

2) If no for 1, any suggestions on what to do now.

This is very frustrating, as I have a feeling I might be in big trouble.

Thanks tons for your help.

Tom

p.s. Photo below shows the upper retainer missing it's top on the left, a complete retainer on the right.
