Damn, Ti Valves, valve springs, pushrods, con rods, retainers...Whats next?

well, if Ti PR's are included in part of a very stout valvetrain, then they aren't an issue. but throwing those into a stock or stock-like valvetrain could cause some serious issues w/the first over-rev. i think if you could get a completely Ti valvetrain you'd be set....for some SERIOUS rpm's. too bad most Ti valves are race only....the metal is too brittle. Predator-Z had a thread about them a few months back.

How do you alloy titanium with ceramic?

I'll still stay with my statement. I think when we actually get into the motor it won't have the Ti pushrods and springs. Nobody in today's world uses a Ti pushrod...nobody. So why would GM use it in a production motor? And the springs....if one broke, it would shatter into a million pieces. If it broke you would have to rebuild the motor.

No mention of the springs.
