I some how i lost a valve lock that came in the kit and i am in the middle of my cam swap. Can i use one of the stock valve locks or do they need to be hardened. They cost 35 bucks and i dont want to buy 36 of them just for one. If anyone has a spare i will pay for it. Let me know.

 

I imagine a stocker will work but I could be wrong

 

I'm pretty sure the Crane keepers are 7° just like the stockers, but I would carefully compare the groove heights and if they look the same, give it a try and see how well it seats in the retainer. with that kit, also make sure you have clearance from the rocker arm to the retainers.

 

same thing happened to me. used a stocker, good to go.

 

Cool i will try the stocker.
