Any idea on where to get intake and exhaust valve spring retainers for the 85-87 Si and what the part numbers are?
Are there any cross reference retainers maybe from an Accord or something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

If this is a complete head set new I am interested. Trying to get these for this years 2nd place FSP and 1st place FSPL National Champion car. Just want a new set to re fresh as a safety measure.
Looking for titanium if possible but I heard they could not be found anymore.
Please let me know.

I'll look up the number of the Ti retainers I've been using and get that to you. I don't remember which engine it was right now but one of the B series engines (B17 or B18) has the same diameter stems as the EW and the stock EW springs will work in them. I've been running them in my engines for years.
If you love the Elise, drive a Se7en - Caterham or whatever...
It has even less content than the Elise, is less graceful looking
...and changes direction like a ping pong ball whacked by Thor.
B18A1 and the later B20A-B20Z heads all use the same 6.5mm valves stem size that the EW engines do. I've never used the stock Honda retainers from any of those engines but Ferrea has Ti retainers that work.
Part # is E11023.

Thank you very much! I am going to order them next week. Another question for an EW engine, suggestions on any particular brand of valve spring compression tool that works when leaving the head on the block? Any one work better than the others?

There is a great set on ebay that works for B and H series heads (dohc). It bolts up to the cap holes, and has a bell that presses down on the retainer so you can remove the keepers. I made an equivalent kit using strip steel, bolts, and JBonded nuts for D series heads.
Look them up on ebay and see if you can come up with something from your home bench for the EW.May be a mission for sohc heads, but worth a try. Doesn't have to be flash, and mine wasn't.
I have a complete head I'd sell.
Let me know.
