Lash cap missing

[doodlebug6.5]

I lost my lash cap on the exhaust valve while taking head apart, could I get a lash cap from auto zone or napa or somewhere? Do I even need it? Could I run the motor for a little bit before I get one thanks

If this is a honda/clone or predator engine and it is on the exhaust valve...you really kinda need it to keep the retainer locked on. JMO

Even if its the split keepers?

No not with split keepers but with stock retainers...but I still do run lash caps on my split keepers on both valves.

Alrighty Thanks I will sooner or later get some just excited to run it lol

Have you found a source for the 5mm lash caps?
