Acammer, if you were running titanium retainers, how did those look after 20k? I know people harp about how much they wear and to not reuse them when swapping springs because the springs bite into them but I'm curious of the actual wear.

I know you were asking acammer, but I too am running the Titanium retainers on my springs with 25k on them when we re-freshed the springs, and they were fine.. We reused them and the locks..

It's a good question - as I've seen both where they are totally fine, and others that are majorly chewed up. Unfortunately, I didn't pull the springs off the heads, as they weren't going back on the car, and we sent them on down to the machine shop to be used as cores for our porting program. In hindsight, I wish I had snatched off a couple springs to check them for pressure, and look at the retainers. I had tool-steel (gasp!!!!) retainers anyways, so I'll bet they were just fine.

For what it’s worth, mine were fine even with the abuse and twice the mileage.

I got some pictures of the CHE trunnions at 20k. Hopefully I can get those uploaded tonight, but long story short, they look great. They'll easily go another 20k, and probably much more beyond that.
