Compressing springs for a cam swap, managed to drop a new retainer and it's nowhere to be found.

This is the package I'm installing --> http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=5544

My question is, how horrible is it to use one ls1 retainer for one spring in the event I can't find it?

Cam is a TSP 224/.581/112 LSA

I would use two stockers to make sure it fits. The lock you dropped didn't fall into the motor did it?

Do you know where the lock dropped?

I wouldn't worry about the new valve lock as I would finding the other one you dropped that's catastrophic failure waiting to happen!

It definitley didn't fall into the engine..one of them fell near the head bolt, tool fell onto the header, nut under the car etc...all on the driver side of motor, away from any openings. I'll check oil pan with a light when I get home but that would have to be some hail mary **** for it to make it into there.

What do you mean? 2 stock retainers?

You'd be surprised how that **** can bounce.

I know and usually doesn't fall in a good place, I'd be combing that bitch with a magnet til I found both of them

Yes.
To make sure they match and hold the valve securely. You don't want it to pop out while running and drop the valve.
