old kit ? all the ones ive had the retainers machined to miss

brand new 2018 delivered, it's been a while since I have fitted them to a z22se engine.

Most people buy the Dbilas springs and they use OEM caps, plus the last few sets of Supertech kits I've fitted were on new B207 engines which have the cast rockers.

Obviously you can grind the roller rockers for clearance, but it was easier to swap them for the cast version

Just be careful to double check the clearance, rotate the engine a couple of times. Once it's been started remove the rocker cover and double check there has been no contact between the rocker and supertech valve cap.

also worth noting that the valves are +0.5mm and the newly machined valve seats mean the valve caps might sit in a slightly different place.

Either way it's something that needs careful attention during a build
