5.0 Engine Rebuild: Valvetrain

Those are the ones
Last thing I got for ya, how do I know which keepers go on intake and exhaust? All my stock keepers were exactly the same, now I have 8 that are gold and thicker than original. They all have just one notch except on the gold ones it’s farther down on the keeper.

Why do you have those
Gold ones?
They are +0.050 so I’m assuming they compress the spring a bit right from the start. The factory keepers are the same on all 16 valve stems
My comp cams setup uses the same keepers on all 16, the regular 11/32 ones the black bag… never seen those gold dudes before

Not sure, that’s what came with the valve kit. Think I should contact them and ask/confirm?
Edited: Those gold ones are advertised with the kit on their website, can’t be the wrong ones. And i’ve double checked with them about this valve kit working with my cam and roller lifters.
