Default who can change ap1 to ap2 retainers?

I found a new set of ap2 retainers for 50 bucks, so who can change them out? i have over 100k miles and want to have a piece of mind. I know marruci does it but i heard he is busy.

For any kind of work on the car I prefer Todd and if he is busy, 00MugenS2 is the guy who I think might become Todd Jr.

I am not hating on anyone's work, I am just saying who is my go to guy as far as work on S2000 goes. I used to go to viets2k who used to work on my AP1 all the time but he is too busy spraying his trucks and blowing engines! LOL

Unless you had an over-rev recently I wouldn't worry about it. I had mine changed out for ap2's this past winter with 155k on the clock and none of them were even slightly cracked.
