 Post subject: Retainers and locks?
PostPosted: Sun Sep 23, 2001 11:58 pm 
I'm seriously thinking of installing larger valves in my /6 head. The guides are wasted on my replacement head, so I figure i'll be half way there, but I'm not sure what to do about retainers and locks. If I go with the 11/32 stems do I just need larger retainers and use the 11/32 locks? is there any special lock that will take the extra space in the 3/8 retainer? Has anyone used the "special" 30 degree valve angle, is it worth the extra time on the valve grinder?

I have just used springs, locks, and retainers that go with the valves I am using, and have the spring seats machined to fit.

I'm actually trying to avoid as much money going to the machine shop as posible, other options would be apreciated.
