Default Are 918's still safe for Torquer v2?

Running the torquer v2 232/234/112+2 .595 / .595 XE-R lobes.

I have a 3,000 mile old set of Ti retainers, comp 918s, hardened pushrods. I simply installed them, didn't do any measuring. Is there a way to adjust them or shim them? I have been reading about properly installing them and am curious what exactly this means.

Also if I do have to get the PRC Dual spring, can I reuse these Ti retainers?

You'll be fine.
BTW the Tv2 is .595/.598
and no you cannot use 918 retainers with duals.

Thank you, once again you are the man. I saw your posts from 2005 on a similar thread and just wanted to make sure this still holds true.

Should I be trying to measure at what height they are installed? Or not worry at 7000rpms

The spring pressures between 918 and duals arent all that different. Duals do offer added protection. The price of a dual kit includes Ti retainers as well.
