Depending on the manufacturer of the engine, it will be on the top or the bottom of the exhaust valve spring. (usually on top, and go between the spring and spring retainer)
They are about 1/4" to 1/2" thick. They were used mostly on engines without hardened valve seats, and on industrial and heavy equipment engines.
Chevy put a lot of them in passenger car engines also, mostly before unleaded gas brought about hardened valve seats.
If you are working on late model engines, you may never see one...
If Chris Columbus "Discovered" America (with 25 million already here), Can I Go "Discover" Florida?
