So lemme understand. You purchased it NOT knowing what it was you were spending your money on? And now you need someone to tell you that you did good or not?

Oh! You know what you have but don't know about the valves? And if you wasted your money?

Here. The Google search you should have done before you posted this up.

exhaust valves appear to be oem. intake appear to be coated so they probably are aftermarket.

would make me worried considering the history of supertech valve failure...

also, my supertech retainers do not look like that....
