Assembly.... This client is using a Supertech spring/retainer kit.

I've not been a fan of the Supertech kit. One reason is because I've not been a fan of the Supertech spring seat....

Kind of a shame actually... as there are many springs out there that can fit the stock spring seat.

The Supertech spring seat is a flat steel "washer". There is nothing on the Supertech spring seat to help keep the spring located/stable in the spring pocket. Introduce the "Macer" spring seat.

Richard Macer builds many racing 4AGE heads, and he has found the standard Supertech spring seat to be "wanting", so he designed and had manufactured an improved spring seat

The Macer seat fits the spring pocket, and the inside "neck" helps keep the spring located, and stable.

If you want to get a set, send me a note, and I'll forward contact info.

the other reason.... HELP! Supertech Retainer / stock buckets

I checked valve protrusion through the retainer, I have .025" on the exhaust side, and .030"+ on the intake side... so that concern is no longer a concern.....
