Yep and a good valve adjustment. Billman will tell you, nothing else that's this simple and cheap on this car has such a big impact on performance.

 

Also ive heard only to replace the intake side retainers and keepers. I purchased enough for both intake and exhaust side. Should i have them both done or wait until , "if" , the exhaust side retainers crack. Any reason not to do both sides?

 

If you already have all the parts for both sides, you might as well do both sides.

Took off the valve cover today. Took some pictures (first time doing it so hope these pictures are alright). Wondering what you guys think? I wasn't to sure what to look for but I do notice there cracked. Also my car seems to have lost some power, doesn't feel the same driving as it did. Maybe its just me but it does feel different. Thanks ya'll.

 

At least the first 2 look like your keepers may be sinking into the retainers.

 

Hey question is it the same part numbers for both the intake and exhaust side?

I personally am going to change both sides to the AP2 retainers and keepers.

 

Hey man, im pretty sure the parts are identical for both sides, just more strain causes the intake side the crack more often, but im
not 100% sure.

I could smell the oil as I looked at these pics. Weird.

 

Pics are no good.

Take pics of intake side only (yellow) get the camera lower so you can see the inside of the retainers (round disc right on top of yellow spring)
