Help me out guys: I believe they are non existence.

Looking for exhaust/intake lightweight valve retainers for a "E" series engine. I have looked at many resources, cam manufacturers etc. and tried to cross over different combo's but not avail.

Any suggestions. Thanks for any leads.

people can custom make those. Paeco says they can make em although as hard as I search, I can never find any feedback about paeco.

The intake side of the ka24e is already running fairly light, the exhausts are the problem, you will always bend your exhaust valves first unless your chain breaks.

And for the exhaust side of the ka24e, the L/Z series components are the option. These used to be available in a few places but havent found anything lately.

I bet if Paeco is not able to offer the full component set for the ka24e, that they would have the L/Z exhausts anyways.

The solid lifters come in at about half to 3/4 of a gram lighter than the originals, so that helps.
