Manley ti Retainer Problem
Have anyone had the stem sinking through the retainer.
I dyno my car three time and now all 16 valve stems is sinking through the retainers, now i'm in need of a ti retainer that will hold up to 10,500 beside these manley.
Any recommendation, let me know thanks.

Re: Manley ti Retainer Problem (TRAN)
we are using ferrea on our engines, (complete ferrea setup, valves, seats, guides, springs, retainers, and even ferrea keepers) the car made 8-10 pass's on the dyno, and so far has been down the track about 6 times. i also used this valve train on my street car last year, put a good 1500-2000 miles and never had a problem.

Re: Manley ti Retainer Problem (OvErReV121)
Stem sinking through the retainer is normally a sign of extreme valve float.
I love our SuperTechs. SuperTech pays top dollar for high quality titanium. You can buy cheap titanium from Russia but it is nowhere near as strong as the good stuff.

Re: Manley ti Retainer Problem (earl)
Agreed Supertech, i run all Supertech valvetrain parts and their pistons. You will not have any problems with their retainers, they have a few, even one that will accomidate lifts over .500.

Re: Manley ti Retainer Problem (OvErReV121)
you don't need to change brands, Manley sells a keeper to go with there retainer, if you use it you will not have a problem. You should buy from people whom are familier with the product and have some experience to avoid problems.
I do not use a stock keeper with anything I use because of the problem you stated. Seen to many destroyed heads to think otherwise.
