[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 13424920, member: 124025"] I have not taken the spring/retainer apart yet. I won't look at them again until I get the torx plus set I ordered to be able to remove the cams. Why Ford puts one odd-ball sized torx screw on one of the cam tower bolts for each cam caught me off guard. The keeper from the pan looks fine. There's not a mark on it to indicate it was pinched or installed incorrectly. Obviously it was part of the head at the time of installation, but if the heads are supplied to the niche team with the cam followers installed, you'd never be able to see the keepers. Since I took delivery of the car, the valve covers have never been off this engine. Mods prior to the compression loss were a VMP TVS, 65mm CJ throttle body, larger injectors a BAP and a 123mm CAI. Like I said, I've never over reved the engine and the motor has never hit the limiter. I did make threee runs at the Texas mile, but kept revs to 6,000 rpm. [/QUOTE]
