There are a few online dealers you can order them with but I'm not sure who is the best. I was told that my order emtied out 3 wharehouses for AP2 retainers and keepers. The parts are not stocked so they will have to be ordered no matter where you get them.

Experts chime in here, will high milage and/or time get to the retainers or is it just over revs?

I get my parts from Majestic Honda if it is expensive stuff. Regular nuts, bolts, and washers I just get from the dealer.

Not sure about which side to do but i'm pretty sure 1 side is AP2 retainers and keepers, and 1 side AP1. Thinking the intake is AP2, but don't quote me. Chris will know off hand.

Liquidstation got all AP2 retainers, intake and exhaust.

Only the intakes cracked, none of the exhaust retainers. If you get AP2 retainers, you will need AP2 keepers.

Euro market 2.0 built after 04 use the AP2 (2.2) retainers as well.

The exhaust retainers take much longer to swap than the intakes. Billman has found no cracked exhaust retainers yet, only intakes.

They only crack if the engine has bee over revved.
