my engine seems to have the following parts fitted:

a triple valve spring assembly VTSV8, with retainers SC4 from pipercams.

searching the www those parts are only mentioned in des hammills book "how to powertune a rover v8...."

some of the retainers are cracked, therefore some valves sit lower than normal, 1 valve already had contact with a piston.



standard retainers do not match with the springs fitted.

searched pipercams homepage...but dont find anything about the retainers...its christmas now..so no reply form pipers expected.

does anybody know if pipers are still fabricating those parts or maybe the parts got a differnt spare-part no. in the meanwhile?
