Comp 918 retainer question
#4
someone said that they talked to comp and comp said the there is slack with the stock retainers and 918's. Im swapping tomorrow. I just bought 918's and new 918's retainers. For $40 I think its worth it to be safe

I was unable to budge the retainer installed and much less compressed.
the only way I would change those is if I spun over 6300 rpm and I would swap them for titaniums.
Stockers work just fine. (Nothing scary there).
