titanium is basically full race yet pepole still use it.

titanium valve springs are likr 400$ each and only meant for 1 race but they support like 14 000 rpm.

tons of people use tit retainers and have for years, some pepoole have had fuckups with em.

How well do they last if you stay around factory redlines? I mean how 'reliable' are they?
You're saying they're good for one race, I mean that doesn't make'm very encouraging!

I guess I was just looking at building the head up as well as the block to be ready to take a pounding when it gets served.
The car will probably end up being driven 3 times a month in the summers to come.

Can you help me find a company that sells the sleeve kits? The Fort Collins machine shop can't order them for Hondas.

Funny you should say that that because when I posted the pic I was thinking the same thing.
I think they are happy where they are.

Where did you get your sleeves from? and how much were they? how much did it cost to have them installed?
