Cant source one anywhere, seems like I'm backed into a corner.

If anyone one has one kicking around I'll make it worth your while to pop it in an envelope and ship it my way.

longshot, I know... :D

Since the 2.3 is a dirt-common engine, what makes the 1997 retainer hard to find? We've had several come through and didn't notice anything different. If the snow ever melts, we might find another one.

Im not sure, I just know the engine is likely a 97 (out of a Genie boom lift truck)

this is the second time I've had issues sourcing retainers. the first was the 351m I did some time last year.
