There have been reports of exhaust retainer cracks..I have not seen it myself.

 

Neither have I. And I've looked at/changed somewhere around 20-25 sets now...so it's all purely speculation.

 

I have another question...
When using supertech dual springs/retainers, which keepers would you use? Ap1? Ap2? I don't think it comes with keepers? Anyone?

iF YOU GONNA DO THE JOB.. CHANGE ALL OF THEM... EX and IN...

I did change them myself and it was a 1hr job (being my first time working on this car head) but its pretty easy... just need the right tools and patience

 

Change all of them in an hour and do valve adjustment.....especially as a first-timer..... I call BS.

 

Thanks to everyone for their input. Since I know that there were a couple of over revs...I will let you know if there are any cracks...and for all I know the previous owner could have already made the switch...but valves need adjusting anyway. Thanks again!

 

Wow one hour......good thing the retainers arent made of Kryptonite!

 

Seriously...I can't stand people who feel the need to lie and/or exaggerate......

 

1 hour. Yeah get over yourself.

I have done the retainer swap 25 times (that is an honest number, as I am on my 25th S2000 with broken retainers)

If I am FLYING I can do it in 1 hr 50 minutes. I typically spend 2 hrs 20 minutes. And that includes adjusting the valves.

I recommend spending half a day.
