I will measure the springs I took out and the new ones I got.
Are the retainers used with the different valve assemblys all the same or are they all different?

Hi Mac, you need the retainers that don't use the "roto-caps", they are the 1 piece deals.

Like I mentioned above, you can alter the spring hgts/pressures by using the valve locks if needed.

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. Here's a shot of both setups, you should use the one on the left side!
