Default What Keepers

I have bought some Supertech valve springs and there steel retainers. What keepers should I use with these? After a recent thread on here i'm a little worried about this. I'm using OEM Type R valves

You email the manufacturer and you tell them the exact part numbers and they will instruct you.

I've used the manleys and oem dozens of times. Have yet to see either fail or pull through the retainer.

I guess this would be wise but still be good to hear from those who are running this valve spring combo and what keepers they are using

you need to tell supertech your part number, they have two different spring kits and each have different spring wire diameters and different inner/outer spring diameters for both spring kits, both inner and outer springs
