Yes that is the stock retainer, retainers are sized to fit snuggly , almost snap , into the ID of the spring. It doesn't need to be the OD of the spring.




I was just surprised that the retainer didn't cover the spring. I looked at my 69 Bee, which does have the wrong heads the lopo 516's for an earlier 361/383, and they have retainers that cover the 1.5 springs but no dampers. I'm positive however about these heads for my 68 Bee never being apart. Just thought that smaller OD was odd. Thanks.
