I'm currently rebuilding a 97 4.0. I was compressing my valve springs with a homebrew compressor . Well the damn thing slipped and sent everything into orbit, once again, . The only thing I couldnt find was the retainer. Ive been searching and researching trying to find what size the retainer is so i could pick up a replacement. Does anyone know what size I need? They are still stock springs. Thanks in advance

 

Consider yourself lucky,that is all you lost.
A friend of mine lost an eye.

 

Oh I had my googles on, already got smacked in the face off a rebound earlier. Figured it would be a good idea.

 

You might Google too much if?????
Sorry couldn't resist..

 

I've been googling and dug through my FSM but didn't find the size of the retainer.
