Shims or cups go under the spring. there is no lower retainer...




who said anything about a lower retainer ? they make valve spring retianer that go on top of the valve spring to ADD installed height because you can't move the notch in the valve higher







Cuda-Tim did.

A spring height mic will tell you the springs installed height on each valve. If it's too much then you would put the shim under the spring or spring cup.
