    Default WTB: Valve spring retainer 2TG/18RG

    Hello all,

    Does anyone know where to buy new the "valve spring keeper / retainers" for our 2TG?, I think they are the same for 18RG ... OEM n. parts 13741A (90913-03010) but it is discontinued. What other retainers alternative could I use.

    Thanks

    Try amayama.com https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/9091303010 They are $3.25AUD each plus post.
    Also try toyheadauto.com but Aus dollar to US dollar is not good at the moment.

    Thanks for the information / link ....but I think that I will have little luck with this item, this is item discontinued. The solution would be to find a "retainers alternative" for 2TG-18RG engine, that I yet not found

    Ok, Here are the valve locks that I have used to rebuild both 18RG and 2TG which I had sourced and purchased on Ebay:

    Listed under this title:
    8xPr.ITM/Repco#051-126,Toyota#90913-03005 Valve Keeper Sets 3KC,2TC,3RC,8RC,18RC

    eBay item number:
    382304662926

    Warning!!!

    However, they are not the same part number as OEM Valve Locks for the 2TG or 18RG. These were sourced from the Toyota 8-RC which fits and locks these valves in place with the 2TG and 18rg Valve spring retainers. Not OEM but should match your requirements for Valve Locks.

    Update: The years August 1978 - June 1981 the Valve lock part Number is "90280-05010" fits 2TGEU, 3TEU, 12TU, 13TU, 18GEU and 21RU. This was listed in the TA40, TA55 and RA40 parts manual. So if it makes you more comfortable to seek out the OEM part, please see if they are available.
    73GTV Thank for the information, ... but have you used them for 2TG and 18RG engines? ... and you did not have problems to install them and fit ?, I refer to the EBAY link.

    This part number "90280-05010" I have checked this no. part and not correspond to any valve lock (it's another completely different part), possibly you write incorrect part number, can you verify?

    Just a quick question, what number is cast on passenger side front of cylinder head e.g 11111-88260 etc. Should start with 11111-*****. This can give some idea of year/model of head if using standard valves. This is reason why, you can see there are variations from year to year. These are for a TE71 2TGEU.(Ignore price the parts list is old)
    13741A LOCK, VALVE SPRING RETAINER
    90913-03010 (03/1979 - 07/1982) 16 $2.57
    90913-03022 (08/1982 - 03/1983) 16 $1.98

    I may have made an error earlier, please review the listed part numbers and sorry about the earlier post. Follow the other lead, it may pan out and I have not had any isses yet with the standard valve locks with the Duel Valve Springs.

    The cylinder head is new, no have numbering (white) ... I deduce that it is a TE71 2TGEU, of the latest marketed by toyota "I believe".

    These part numbers are discontinued, not exist. During last week I requested information (Amayama, JpCarparts and Megazip) and they tell me that this item is discontinued.
    it is difficult to find the retainers ....

    Check out this link in Faceboot (TOYOTA 2T-G FUN CLUB). In 2015 I asked for information of head, there are many pics. There is a photo with part number OEM Toyota head box.

    I also recently purchase something without serial numbers, a new old stock 2T series Block.

    I believe that these items were end of production run items or when the change order came in for the change from 2T to 3T specs and that your head may have been at the end of it's production run from 2tg to 3tg.

    Contacts:

    web.... http://www.precisionshims.com.au
    email Christine....... [email protected]

    13.8 x 3.00mm flat shims were $9 aud

    If your shims are rattling, you did not measure with a micrometer to obtain your required clearances per the Green book. But if you are referring the the term "Rat-holed", I stand corrected...

    Thanks RT104GT ... the "shims" are relatively easy to get, but I need are the keepers ... the locks that hold the valves inside the retainers, look at the drawing no. part:13741A (pointed with arrow pink)
