Hey guys, working on getting my head back on after a stupid mistake on my part.
Anyways, I have evo 8 springs and retainers. I had to remove them to replace valves. I figured, with all the iffyness about them, I'd grab a set of BC springs. Bought ONLY the springs because I figured I'd just use the evo retainers to save on weight for the valve train.
I have them installed, but the retainers are smaller in diameter than the retainers as the evo 8 springs get small at the top vs. The BC springs which do not. Is it safe to run it this way? Or should I just put the evo springs back in until I get the proper retainers for the BC springs?
