Merry Christmas to everyone! (the order of the days!)
On the technical side, I'd like to know where in the web I can find actual drawings for valve keepers. I'm building an Alfa Romeo V6 engine as subject of a book I'm writing and in the area of valve spring installed height and valve lift with proprietary valves,when trying out different combinations of keepers and retainers (single/triple groove)I noticed that the interference angles are different (for the same 8mm stem diameter). I would assume that these angles are industry-standard - are they? My observation so far is that all single-groove keepers have one angle and 3-groove ones another, which of course also differentiates retainers.
Regards,
Jim K.
