The original valve keepers were very suspect back then, many dropped valves in the HiPo BBs

The valve train was definitely the weak link in the hi-perf big blocks...replacing springs, keepers, retainers, seals and ideally new aftermarket one piece valves is good insurance.

Dropped valves, broken springs and keepers were responsible for a lot of CE motors.
