My friend bent a valve in his B16 head. I sold him my old Rocket inners. My question is can I reuse the stock outers and retainers. A guy I know said your supposed to replace the springs and retainers when u bend a valve. Thanks in advance.

 

The springs and retainers should be fine. Just need to avoid doing what ever caused the valve to bend.

 

He got the car used, the previous owner put a stock civic shifter on the car before he sold it. The car shifts like ****. I got him an stock ITR shifter from a buddy. He was racing and when trying for forth he accidentally went into second. Hes kinda stupid. But thanks for the advice Rocket.

 

that 3rd to 2nd when you want 4th kills many a motor.

Indeed. I got lucky when I did this, and only bent four exhaust valves. Most people say goodbye to their motors when this happens, so your friend is lucky.

 

Thanks Rocket, if you say its ok than ill give it a shot.
