Bc Valvetrain Parts And Shims?

Greetings,

I'm hearing from my head shop that there is some issue with the Brian Crower single springs + Ti retainers with the factory shims and buckets. Apparently the retainers to not have a recess to keep the shims in place under the buckets (centered on top of valve stems) OR the valve stem extends too high up from the locks and retainers for the factory shims to be retained (he wasn't totally clear).

I have SS BC valves, BC valve guides, BC single springs, BC Ti Retainers, BC locks, factory shims, factory buckets. Basically ALL BC parts in the valvetrain...Has anyone had this issue before? Does anyone have any of these parts installed currently? If so, what was the solution?

I'm curious and I left a message with BC technical and I do believe the shop is working with BC for a solution, but I'm just questioning that this could be the case or what else could be the issue with this installation.

Thanks in advance.

Patrick

Heard back from BC technical. They say that the BC single spring retainers are a direct dimensional copy of the factory retainer, except in Titanium. I didn't get so far as the valves, but he said he had talked to the shop the day before and explained the rest to them. So, per his advice we shouldn't be seeing any issues.

I'll wait to see what the shop says.

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
