all b series retainers = same thing.

 

yea b-series are the same retainers

 

is there an echo in here?

 

echo...echo...anyway, what are your guy's thoughts on this? i would like to know as well.

 

if it's a daily driver than i don't think you need aftermarket retainers, but I would check with skunk2 first...stock ones might damage it or something.

 

MY GOD guys, please realize there ARE more companys that offer parts other than OEM honda and ******* skunk2!!!!!

Good luck trying to tell them. I've been saying it for years.

I recommend if you have the money is Toda valve spring retainers. More costly but great quality. My boy is running Toda spec B cams with those retainers and is doing fine.

 

ok so maybe i'm a tard, and flame away if you wish, but i've never heard of ti retainers only being good for 20K. is it just skunks cause the company i got mine from did not mention anything about it. please explain why a product so widely used would have such a finite lifespan. not doubting just asking

 

i want to know this also free bumb

 

SkRiBLaH, what other cams would you suggest rather than skunk2 stage 2? and spring/retainer to match with it? and will it give smooth idle as skunk2 gives? thankss!

 

im running skunk valvesprings with stock retainers - revs up to 9.2k. so far so good.

 

yeah, if the valve springs allows so, using stock retainers is a great choice for daily driven since ti retainers gall and have to be replaced every 20k or so

im using like 1hotintegra's cam....stage 1, with spring and ti retainer...i wanna change to something wilder yet still mild....

also, do i really have to replace my ti retainer after 20k?

 

i got my answer the other day from a few friends, i am going to go with Ti-retainers becasue i dont want to have a stock retainer fail at 9k , thats what happend to my buddy, and the result was shocking
