Re: turbo valvetrain?
Trav-ASS dropped a valve on his 2.0/VTEC, and he had springs/retainers. He also have Ferrea exhaust valves. And stock intake valves. Both intake faces dropped right off the stem on #2, toasted the head and holed the piston, didn't so much as scratch the bore. Craziest thing I've ever seen.
The Ferrea exhaust valve facess were slightly bent by the experience, but their stems were were true and the Ferrea retainers kept the intake stems from flying all over the place. With the valvecover off, spinning the engine, you'd think everything was fine. None of it bound up or the like. |

Re: turbo valvetrain?
alright so im still new to this valvetrain stuff but what ive got so far is that i can run around 85lb/in springs in my head for a red line good to around 9k with my stock gsr cams? i know the rev limit will be set as to where it will make power but assuming im running enough boost pressure with my 60/63 turbo and its still making power this will be good? also whats the difference in retainers what purpose do they serve (raise spring rates?) and could i just run new springs with stock retainers on a turbo setup stock cams and be able to potentially rev that high?

Re: turbo valvetrain?
I really wish that Intrinsic would move their expertise into the B-series, even though the dinosaurs are on the verge of extinction. They had this huge description of how harmonics in the cam shaft cause irregular vibrations at higher RPM and how cryotreating the cams prevents these all the way to a 20k rpm rev range or something. That ---- is cool, because then we wouldnt have 85in/lbs wearing the cam lobe so crazy + super revvyness on a boosted motor. One thing to invest in is a set of quality keepers, I've had more friends drop valves due to broken keepers than floated springs, well those are the dual spring VW 16v motors though...

Everyone running off the shelf oil on high pressure aftermarket springs, or unusually high lift cams, have been experiencing camshaft failure since all the high pressure lubricants have been removed for environmental reasons. Mike94se of all people, IIRC, has an account on bobtheoilguy's site to check up on the periodic oil assays as the petroleum guys have been playing games with blends for a hot minute now. Back to the crankshaft harmonics dealio... I was under the impression all the top name engine builders agreed that stock B-series cranks were balanced to 10K from the factory. Just food for thought.

Re: turbo valvetrain?
SM isn't all that great. And some resort to diesel oils for betters adds.

Re: turbo valvetrain?
Any particular diesel oils on the el cheap tip, Mikey-san?
