so i'm looking at the different options of spring and retainer kits and i see there's obviously different options to go with on these. but i don't know the difference between them or what they are specifically designed for. such as a single spring and a dual spring. or titanium retainer or steel retainer. Is any one better? if i could get your input or experiences please let me know thankyou

here is a breakdown of stock honda valvesprings:
LS: single on both sides GS-R: dual on intake, single on exhaust Type R: dual on both sides basically if you are using large cams dual is a must. if you are using smallish cams then the company may have a single spring option for it. as far as retainers, if you plan on daily driving it then go steel, titanium lightens the valvetrain a bit but has a limited lifespan and thus increased maintenance. they are typically more expensive and if you care about your motor they would need changed by around 25k miles. __________________ 1999 Ford Expedition 1989 Volvo 245 1977 Volvo 244 1978 Cobalt 19' BR |

Even tho this is Chris's thread, I don't want to waste putting up another thread because this is kinda on the same topic
Anyways, so I were to get Skunk2 Stage2 cams, I would have to upgrade to dual valve springs of course, but can I stick with my stock retainers???
