I dont know if was the Springs or the Retainers, but my Valves floated one time in cylinder #1. Thats what caused my engine to fail.

I didnt drop valves.. The valves floated, then shattered. The valves stems and all were still in the keepers tho.. The other half looked like Hershey's kisses. HAHA...


Maybe it was the Springs.. Thats my thought
Says the person who now currently owns those..."OH SHIT"... lol. I've used supertech for years BUT I've never even taken mine to 9k and I've got thousands and thousands of miles on mine. I guess it's just the massive abuse. But If that's the case I've still got tuner series and Pro series ones laying around If I don't use them.
