i was wondering if its ok to go with stock itr retainers with aftermarket crower dual valve springs? i have titanium retainers now that need to be replaced. i heard that titanium retainers dont last long and was told i could use itr retainers. is this true? i dont plan on reving past 9k rpm. 9 would be the highest my motor build is going to see. any info?

I've had one valvetrain, i check every oil change.
The crower full race , with they're Ti- retainers..
6 sets of cams.
4+ years of 9.5+k abuse..

wtf are u doing to your motor that makes u think you need to replace the retainers, are they chipping?...whats wrong with them, how do you know..

 

Ti Retainers bad? If they are, you can just use the ITR's. Know guys making serious horse on stock retainers. Awesome!!!

gsr block 85mm sleeves with 11:1 compression gsr head with crower stage 2 cams and crower springs and retainers. i was asking because the guy i bought the cams and valve train said they are getting worn out. i dont know for sure. im going off what i have heard about ti retainers not what i know. i was told ti retainers dont last along time. idk if they are worn out. two friends both looked at them and said that they are worn out

 

For warranty's sake I would stick it the the same manufacturer for the springs and retainer.

 

that what i orginally was going to do was buy another set of crower ti retainers but i wanted to confirm what i was told about ti retainers not lasting along time first
