Stock retainers vs. Titanium Retainers
I've hit a fork in the I'm prepping a b16 head for a turbo daily driver setup. I dont intend to rev the motor past 8,000 with stock cams and boost around 15-18psi or 350whp max. I ordered some EF-1 valvesprings but since I'm running stock cams and keeping the rpms at stock 8k would I be safe with stock retainers? I hear alot about titanium retainers wear and stock retainers crack...
thx

screw it.
titaniums only last roughly 20k miles from what Ive read.
thats why those n/a guys are "experimenting" with diff coatings to try and help them last longer.
