Denstoj Rocker Retainers – Subaru FA / FB Engines (Toyota 86 / GR86 / Subaru BRZ / WRX)
Fits: Subaru FA and FB engines, including the Toyota 86 / GT86 (ZN6), Subaru BRZ (ZC6 and ZD8), Toyota GR86 (ZN8), Scion FR-S and Subaru WRX (FA20DIT / FA24DIT). Not for the Toyota GR Yaris / GR Corolla (G16E). See the Denstoj G16E kits for those.
The FA and FB engines have a known weak point. If a valve spring loses pressure, through an over-rev or even in normal driving, a rocker arm can drop out. The cam can then throw it through the tappet cover and dump oil onto the exhaust, and the valve can drop into the cylinder and destroy the piston.
The Denstoj rocker retainer kit holds the rocker arms in place so this can't happen. It's one of the most important upgrades for any FA/FB engine, stock or built, and a fraction of the cost of a rebuild. This still applies to the 2022+ GR86 / BRZ, and the factory valve spring recall doesn't fix it.

FAQ
Do I need these on a stock engine?
They're recommended on any FA/FB engine. Rocker arms can drop out across the rev range, not only on an over-rev.
Does the valve spring recall fix this?
No. The recall doesn't stop the rocker arms dropping out.
Do they work with aftermarket cams and springs?
Yes. They're commonly fitted alongside upgraded cams and springs during a head build.
Do they fit the GR86 / new BRZ (FA24)?
Yes. The FA24 uses the same rocker design.
