Installation / Application Notes

Brian Crower notes that late-model Honda cylinder heads (after 2004) may require BC2940 keepers to correctly accommodate BC2010/BC2011-style retainers because Honda changed the keeper-groove angle. Confirm keeper-to-retainer compatibility before assembly.

BC identifies BC0040SX as the steel-retainer/no-seat kit; its current storefront specification table lists retainer BC2010.

Fitment Note

We identify many performance components by engine family rather than by every individual chassis. Verify the engine code, cylinder head/valvetrain configuration, and required supporting components before ordering, especially on engine swaps or modified vehicles.

Always verify installed height, coil-bind clearance, retainer-to-seal/guide clearance, and camshaft lift before final engine assembly.
