You talking about a valve spring retainer or a head bolt?

Re: vette 113 head retainers

Oh yeah, that would be specific to the spring diameter, material used(most are tool steel, higher grade units might be titanium), and spring height correction factor. A good head machinist might be able to match it up by dimensions.
