Hey guys

So today, I decided to take off my valve cover to do the valve cover gasket and also look at the retainers.
I can't really make any decisions if they are fine or cracked just by looking at the top.
So I thought I should post up some pictures for some of you more experienced people to see and decide!

Note:
-I have not over-revved the car once.
-I do not know if the car has been over-revved by the previous owners

Pictures:







Any advice or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

So out of the 16 valves, you post a picture of the tops of 6 of the valves - at least half of which you can't even get a clear look at. Even if the tops of these valves are perfect (which seems to be the case), there is still a LOT of valve surface area we can't see from these images.

Post more intake side pics...never mind the exhaust side.

Billman, can you see them well enough without removing any valvetrain components?

Billman250

Yes always.

Put a penlight on the retainers and keepers. turn the camera flash off.
