Description
Aftermarket cams increase the efficiency of your head by using higher lift and duration. Any time you increase the lift and duration of a cam, you are putting more stress on the valvesprings and retainers. Factory valvesprings were not made to handle the abuse of higher lift and duration, especially not at the rpm we take our engines to when racing, or even driving enthusiastically. If you are installing upgraded cams, do yourself a favor and install valvesprings and retainers while you're in there.
Your stock valve springs can fail in 3 different ways.
All three of these conditions can be avoided by using these Skunk2 Tuner Series Valve Springs and Ti Retainers.

Fitment:
Designed to handle the demands of extreme-lift camshafts operating at prolonged, high-rpm use at championship-level racing, Skunk2’s Pro Series Valve Springs for Honda’s B-series VTEC engines are simply the best. Pro Series Valve Springs have been tested at speeds as high as 11,000 rpm on both the engine dyno and the street and our superior, Japanese-milled, super-clean chrome silicone wire is 100-percent eddy-current inspected prior to coiling and then heat-treated, shot-peened, and chemically polished for strength and durability. A special nitriding process concludes Skunk2’s rigorous manufacturing process. The end result is a lightweight valve spring that safely accommodates high-lift camshafts and features superior resistance to load loss, even under extreme operating conditions.
Skunk2 designs, develops, and tests its entire valvetrain lineup in-house to ensure superior quality and maximum performance gains. During development, each valvetrain component is tested both on the dyno and the road, including 11,000 rpm drag racing engines and 17,000 rpm superbikes. Manufactured from the best materials available, Skunk2 valvetrain components provide exceptional performance, reliability, and quality and remain standard-issue on each Skunk2 vehicle that we build and support.
Your stock valve springs can fail in 3 different ways.
BIND - They can "bind" and get stuck, losing their ability to open and close the valve. This is an easily diagnosable failure. Depending on how it binds, it could cause failure to other engine parts.
BREAK - They can "break" into pieces dropping the valve into the combustion chamber and consequently ruining your bottom end.
FLOAT - "Valve Float" is a hard to diagnose condition where the valve spring rate is not high enough to fully extend the spring and close the valve after a complete rotation of the cam before the cam comes back around again. So what ends up happening is that when the cam is spinning fast (high rpm) the valve never closes, and combustion leaks out of the engine, and the engine loses power.
All three of these conditions can be avoided by using these Skunk2 Tuner Series Valve Springs and Ti Retainers.
