My moronic ex-machinist managed to lose my exhaust springs and bits. I disassembled another head and got the springs and retainers from that, but when I got the head together, my exhaust springs were too low. I believe that there is a difference to the taper and/or diameter of the inner portion of the retainers due to the fact that the exhaust valves are 8mm, versus 9/32". Does anyone have four retainers in a coffee can that they're not in need of anymore?

Thanks, once again, for any help.

Thanks, Iain. Do you know the part number, or name MS might use? I've tried every combination of words in the search engine, and come up with a minimum of 26 pages of product to slog through...

Iain, you're a saint! I have the most rotten luck with using the search engines on both MiniSpares and MiniMania...

I do have the top caps (we call them keepers), as I'd ordered spares, but may order some more for insurance's sake!

Cheers!
