magnum valve train questions

There no "other retainers", what Hughes sells is it, unless You want to install longer valves.
Magnum lock grooves are very high on the stem with a short tip length, Hughes removes some of the retainer meat below the locks & fattens it a little for support, .540" lift is it unless You;
A) Cut down the guides
B) Use longer stem valves.....
which are 5/16" BTW, not 8mm,
so if You swap valves 8mm will require resizing the guides & different locks etc.
at the top of this, are you saying that Hughes has the only retainers?

Currently the plan is to cut down the guides and use the Hughes retainers with stock rockers and I found trick flow springs rated/sized like the Hughes springs.
Thoughts?
