I'm getting my B16a head built at local machine shop this week. The shop recomends REV valves, springs, and retainers. I wanted to use Portflow springs, retainers, and flat faced valves. What would you guys pick?

The motor is b16a, CTR slugs, CTR cams, mugen head gasket, Edelbrock intake mani, header and exhaust. It's an ITE car for SCCA and I'm also going to try to make it to some honda challenge events.

 

Personally, I use Portflow.

 

im in the same situation. but what i will choose is skunk2 valvetrain and rev HC valves.

I'd go Portflow as well. Or if you're a baller, check out Rocket's lineup of valves, springs and retainers.

 

where can i gte portflow retainers and dual valve springs ? Note I am looking to save money so I am looking to buy them as cheap as they come

 

personally i dont use them but i can tell you all i hear is good from REV

 

Portflow.

 

does anyone know where i can get portlow ti retainers and dual valve springs ?

email me at aloy4883@yahoo.com

 

http://www.portflow.com maybe?

 

whatever is cheaper. they're both going to be sufficient for CTR cams.

 

portflow inners itr outer and flat faced valves but i also dont know too much about rev so i cant make a good decision.

 

Have had no failures with REV, but for ctr cams I would use stock "R" stuff shimmed .020.

Rev springs and retainers are a snap fit. This reduces wear known for titanium retainers. I use Rev up to 9,500 rpms. Also know a few others that personally ran the revs. 1 b20vtec here had the valvetrain inspected for wear around 15,000 miles and found no problems that are sometimes found with skunk2's and so forth.

 

use either one, or stock itr valve springs. the stock itr springs will work just fine.

 

10,000 miles on my b20/vtec, revin way too high and rev valves have treated me good, but i use kms engineering springs and ti retainers, and they are priced dirt cheap and perform very well like 300 for springs and retainers.

wow...this is totally a split decision. REV or portflow. I've been to the portflow website and they sell REV products
