im using KMS ti-retainers. no trouble with them. i recently had the head apart and inspected them for wear or anything unusual and they still looked new after 4 years.

i have heard good things about the KMS valve train.

on the other hand i have hear bad things about rev. not sure about their springs or retainers but i have heard that their valves are not so good.

Go with something thats proven and you know for sure..
Save yourself the trouble.. dont question anything as important as a valvetrain.. if you have too, you obviously aren't and should not.. use that brand for anything..
Valvetrain is a very important part.. and if it goes wrong your whole motor can go at one time..
Stick to what works..

Here is a silly post on my part, If you have KMS or Rev cams use the valvetrain matched to them. Just guessing here.
