turbo people with TI retainers & stronger valve springs
How many of you are running ti retainers? Do you have problems with it? Which brand are you running, how often do you replace them?
It looks the N/A guys have often problems with it, it wear very quick sometimes
I run now for 12500 miles Crower ti retainers and valve srpings. No problem so far, but I never inspected the retainers....I am worried now.

We used to have the same problem with the jg stuff. I don't think it's a retainer problem though. I think it's caused by valve float. When the valves float, the retainer and spring don't have as much pressure against one another. The impact when the valve catches up with the cam is what tears them up. I think that's what's going on anyway. We switched to Rev springs and retainers and haven't had that problem since.

Re: turbo people with TI retainers & stronger valve springs (tony1)
Ahh man, thanx for clearing that up.
I knew those valvetrain was ***, i mean it doesnt even have an inner spring. i guess ill be saving up for a new valvetrain now, REV or Ferrea?
Tony: what causes valve float? is it from weak valve springs?

Valve float is usually caused by excessive rpms in addition to a spring that is too weak. Thereby causing the spring to not fully expand before it compresses again.

Re: (kpt4321)
turbo guys use stock cams and n/a guys use aggressiver lift cams and rev higher, therefore the retainers wear quicker.
