Im beginning to think changing to titanium retainers is a
bad idea. Yeah you save some valvetrain mass but titanium
is a very brittle metal and well that is what happens. Ive
heard of a few people breaking titanium retainers lately
anyone ever here of stock one breaking? Im curious.

Is it possible that the Crower valve springs were a contributing factor in the retainer getting fux0r3d?
