Default Anyone using Manley valvetrain?

I was asking because I was thinking of using their products for my cam swap! Im gonna do a 224/224/.581/.581 on a 112 LSA! If you are using these products, let me know what you think of them. How do they hold up? How long are they lasting? Any problems? If you could do it over again, would you go with a different brand? Thanks and let me know!

LG uses Manley stuff too. They are putting Manley double springs and all their best stuff on my G5X-2 package. Give em a call, Lou will hook you up I'm sure.

Not using Manley springs, but I do have Manley valves in the stage II heads... using CC 918 springs to hold 'em up.

Not a single problem yet with my valve train revving to 6800 RPMS.

Anyone using springs and retainers from Manley? I wanted to use these products, but wanted a little feedback from it before I decide to buy them. Thanks

About how long have you been using them? The reason I ask is because I want to know whats going to last longer, the Manley components or the Comp? I dont want to be changing them that often, so I wanted to go with the ones that are going to last the longest! Thanks buddy!
