I bought locking header bolts from summit last week. I recieved 12 normal retainers (pictured left) and 4 bent retainers (pictured right). What is the purpose of the 4 bent retainers? Thanks in advance! Sorry for the noob question!

 

The bent one go on the 4 bolts that are too far away from a primary for the normal locks to hit. The bent one go on with the point inward so the lock against the flange. I just put mine on today. Here is a picture that shows them. The farthest one you can see on the left is one of the bent ones.

 

do you have any closer photos of that?

 

This is the best I can do right now. The one on the left is a bent one and the bent part is on the bottom of the flange right above the spark plug.

 

thanks man!
