RCR/DEI Talledega Engine failures

I heard all the RCR/DEI engines had valve spring retainer failures with excessive wear in the retainer area, possibly not correctly hardened?
These retainers were only used in the restrictor plate engines ( they use a lighter valve spring pressure due to the lower rpm NORMALY turned in restrictor engines ) so this doesent apply to previous engine failures and should not effect the rest of the season. Thank Goodness!

Thanks so much for letting us know this Flash! I had been wondering if they ever found out what went wrong with those engines. I am glad to hear that this won't continue to be an issue with the RCR-DEI engines!
