gchprime Posted October 6, 2005 Have not been able to find an answer to this question here at TT: When replacing the OEM valves with the Kibblewhite white <> valves can you use the OEM keepers with them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn_Mc My Rides (2) Posted October 6, 2005 Probably, but buy new ones. Ive seen those things fatigue an break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sirhk Posted October 6, 2005 I'm pretty sure I did but I don't 100% remember. I don't know why you couldn't? Are you thinking cause of the stronger springs will they be strong enough? Obviously they'll fit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rich_Rohrich Posted October 6, 2005 The OEM keepers work fine with the Kibblewhite valves and titanium upper retainers. Kibblewhite used to ship their own keepers with the spring kits but they found it wasn't necessary and stopped it a long while back. New OEM keepers are preferrable but in most cases they can be re-used without any issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
