Default Do LS6 heads come from the factory with titanium retainers?

There is a guy on one of the Corvette forums selling stock LS6 valvetrain pieces and he claims Ls6 heads come with OEM titanium retainers. Anybody know if there is any truth to this?

I'm 99.9% sure that is incorrect information.

I am almost positive they aren't Ti retainers.

No they dont come with titanium retainers but not everyone knows the difference so he is probably just misinformed.
