Valve spring retainer offset?


Okay, I was going to purchase Manley valve springs and retainers but then I noticed there was one with a +.060" and just regular ones, will I need to run offset ones or the regular ones for VT/CMS stage 3 blower cams?

Ethier will work. An offset retainer I'd typically used in a NPI head that needs higher lift.

the regular ones are what you need. they only have .547 lift, plus .060 retainers will effect the seat pressure and mod motors don't run that much as it is
