Are these Titanium Retainers On These Heads?

Just got these heads today that I won off Ebay but the past owner didn't really know anything about them. He said that they have ferra valves, comp springs(unknown size) and that they were milled and pocket ported. Can anybody tell me if these are comp springs and the max lift they can take and if these heads have Ti Retainers on them or not? Thanks for the help.

The pic is there but I still can't figure out how to get them so they are the full size.

My sisters friend. I can hook you up. Do you know anything about the springs. How can I tell which comp cam springs they are and how much lift can they take? Thanks

Those look to be titanium. Titanium has a real bright silver look to it while steel is a darker metal. Those look like Patriot Gold's or PRC's.

Looks like Rev extreme Springs with TI retainers. Pretty standard breaks fast junk. My advice toss that whole pile of stuff and get a set of Patroit Dual golds or one of the similar kits from PRC etc. Alot of those Rev springs have died prematurely. the ratianers could be worth something you might be able to buy raw springs from patroit if you have the ID and OD for the innner and outer springs.
