Is there any reason to replace these things? The one i have seem ok, but i do not know what everyone is doing with them? Should I replace them or just reuse?

 

depends what you want to do... I chose to replace them just for piece of mind since its only 20 bucks for the set of four. I had a lifter go south, and Im scared to death about turning a liftere sideways. Not that these plastic retainers would make a difference, but new ones couldnt hurt, right? I think most people dont bother replacing them.

 

I am going to replace mine. I think $20 in the overall cost budget is worth it.

 

I don't any need to replace them, they don't wear out.

 

Some of mine had slop in them allowing them the lifter to rotate 10-15degrees. For $20...it's probably worth it. I upgraded to the LS2 ones and drilled the oil holes in the side (1/4").

 

If they are loose then obviously it makes sense. Mine were OK though.

 

for 20 dollars, why not replace them. I didnt know they were that cheap. What is the deal with the ls2 retainers?

 

ls2 retainers work in the ls1, but the ls1 retainers dont fit the tls2 block

 

I am building an ls2. Do any of you guys have the part number handy for the ls2 retainers? I would very much appreciate.

 

to save from haiving any problems i will use the new ls1 retainers. thanks guys
