another 918 bites the dust! well it happened to me today, thank god i was not in it ( i was just about to nail it when it happened).
i only had 5k miles on these and i always warm the car up when it's cold.
i heared that comp cams had a bad batch some time ago , are they recalling them? what shold i do?
get another set of 918's or is there another option i could persue?

I feel much safer with my Isky 295s which incidently have a higher spring pressure. New batch or old batch , bad or good, I would never go back after all the failures they incurred.

Re: another 918 bites the dust! I feel that 918's are very good.Alot of people are running them and I only heard of 5 people that actually broke them.I'm running the springs from the "bad batch"Have 20 dyno pulls and 10 1/4 passes,nothing wrong with them.The isky's are new and not too many people are running them.I'm sure next summer everyone will post how isky's suck too.

Re: another 918 bites the dust! I am not even going to go there.
918 springs = bent valve= new heads =new ET(11.18)
I guess it's a bitter sweet $$$$ ending.
Comp supposedly has corrected the 918 problem and improved the spring quality all together. I am not supporting the 918s since I am still working on that issue , but I would be surprised if the new replacement will be less than adequate for their application. Good luck!
