I'm not sure that this is the place for this post, but I am looking for a few valve spring retainers. The listed part number in the Ford manual is 6514. Unfortunately that is the same number used for the earlier retainer which does not utilize the sleeve (pn: 6517) to hold the locks (pn: 6518). I suspect that there is a prefix and suffix missing from the manual. The one carried by most of the suppliers are for the earlier style which retain the locks without the sleeve. Would anyone who has ,or knows of a source for these please PM me please?
