If the 2 keepers are touching on both sides, you have the wrong sized keepers--there should be clearance between the 2 keepers

If you have too large retainers the keepers will slide thru even if they are the size needed for your valves--

I suggest new chromoly retainers and heat treated-machined keepers, not the stamped variety

Check for retainer to guide contact as that will cause your symtom as willcoil bind

Good luck

Jerry
