Does anyone know if you can use comp beehive spring retainers on stock beehive springs? Does anyone know where I could find a set of retainers?

You can if you have the correct size. So you have stock valve springs, what year, what year head? Do you want steel or Ti?

The 2V ones probably yes, the 4V ones definitely no.

To clear up Im using valve springs from a Mach 1. I got just springs, from a take off project.
Im looking to see if the comp spring retainers for there 4v bee hive springs will work with stock 4v bee hive springs. Or if I can find someone that may have a set of stock retainers. Looking for steel.
