    the bottom of the retainer is for added steel or titanium make it stronger to help stop pull thru or spilting the retianer . the step your are talking about get cut with the seal cutting tool . you can just call me pat. why do you want to play with the keeper? if they setup at 1.750 they are fine cut the seal down ?you can cut some off the bottom of the retainer and have done some of this but why? cut the seal down if you go to a higher set up. like longer valves +.050 keepers or retainers on the spring you lose your seat psi on your spring
