Was just idly searching through some old files and came across the attached, no idea where I got it, I just post here for the advice regarding valves. I have no experience of F2s, hopefully someone who has will add their comments on this, just thought it might be useful. In case you can't read it clearly it says:
"Stamped steel retainers are used on all models. On F2 models with their heavier springs retainers often fail. Also keepers seem to 'work' against the valve stems leading to valve failures. In either case severe engine damage can occur. Replace retainers (or complete spring set) and valves when you have any F2 apart"
Comments anyone?
