Someone was going to post pics!
The only reason I am interested is that some people have had issues with lifters turning in the retainers and causing a mess in the engine.
Since they are relatively close in price it would be interesting to know if one is more prone to failing!

Whiterhino,
The photo's are good, but can we get some bigger versions of the photo's by e-mail so we can blow them up?
Is there any thickness difference or possibly does it appear to be a different material?
Thanks for posting the photo's by the way

I only bought the ls2's because they were the most updated version.I'm sure they work exactly the same.

To answer another guys question.You'll be fine with either retainer.There's no advantage going to the ls2's that I can tell.I would buy what ever you get the best deal on.
