Why not just use your stockers??

If you just wanna spend money here ya go for retainers:

yup, stock works fine

erikthegoalie Jun 7, 2007 08:30 AM

oh ok wasn't sure if the beehives had a different retainer shape or anything...

GOOD TO KNOW!

Are there any REAL benefits to titanium retainers with a 224 cam/DD carI am on a strict budget and unless the titanium is THAT neccesary, I will stick with stock!

BIG_MIKE2005 Jun 7, 2007 08:47 AM

I would only get the tit. if they cam in a kit I bought or if I was running a bigger cam @ higher RPM's. Other than that, I'd use the stockers.

No, your stock retainers will work good with that cam (I know from experience :))

Stock locks and retainers here too.

I have some comp. titanium retainers for the 918's that are nearly brand new that I would sell with brand new comp. 918 springs for $270 + shipping. :)

If you don't already have the 918's I wouldnt get them. They switched manufactuers on the springs and started having problems.

Couldn't tell you which ones they are...but good info, thanks

Mine were bought in december so I hope they hold up fine. They have ~3-4k on them so far.
