i think your familiar with my car/times ghost; you think it'll help?

i got them for next to free, and had just bent a valve, so it seemed logical to step it up.

i have titanium valves and retainers, and dropped a valve about a year ago, because of the retainer. i heard the stock steel retainers were stronger, but i havent had problems since.

are you back to running the titanium retainers, or did you switch to steel when the valve went?

yeah, still have titanium retainers. i didnt feel like replacing all of them with stock just because one went out. but the valve dropped only about 2 months after all the head work was done, and i babied the car like crazy. never had any problems after that tho.
