Probably not a bad idea. Suggestion: In addition to keepers, check the clearance between the bottom of the rocker and the top of the retainer with the valve closed (spring fully extended). Crane says you need at least .040 inches there. In a worst case, interference there could tilt the retainer, allowing the keepers to work loose, and Boom! Valve hits piston.
