40k on valvetrain....what to do????

I have roughly about 40k on my aftermarket valvetrain and i'm looking at freshing it up. Who or what company should i look at in doing so?? I heard Patriot never had any problems out of the gold series. Any suggestions guys???

Those are what I'm running. But if I were you, I'd replace whatever you have now with whatever is in there. If it has been fine for 40k, there must not be a problem with it.
