What is the main benefit of using titanium retainers?

Titanium retainers are significantly lighter than stock steel retainers. This reduction in mass helps the valvetrain respond more quickly and accurately, especially at higher engine speeds, and can prevent valve float.

What kind of engine modifications is this kit typically used for?

This kit is commonly used when upgrading camshafts or when building an engine to achieve higher RPM ranges. The stronger springs and lighter retainers help the valvetrain keep up with more aggressive cam profiles and faster engine speeds.

Does this kit come with everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the single valve springs and titanium retainers. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional components or hardware that may be required for proper installation on your specific engine.

Product Details

This is the Brian Crower Single Spring and Titanium Retainer Kit, part number BC0700, designed for Volkswagen and Audi 1.8T engines. If you're looking to get more out of your 1.8T, especially if you're pushing higher RPMs or modifying the camshafts, this kit is a solid choice for improved valve control.

Brian Crower is known for making well-built valvetrain components, and this kit is no exception. The single springs are designed to handle the increased demands of performance camshafts, helping to prevent valve float when the engine is spinning faster. The included titanium retainers are a significant upgrade; they're much lighter than stock steel retainers, which reduces the overall mass in the valvetrain. Less reciprocating mass means the valvetrain can respond more quickly and accurately to the camshaft's profile, especially at high engine speeds.

This kit is a direct fit for the specified 1.8T applications, meaning it's made to install without needing custom fabrication. It's a popular choice for builders who want to ensure their valvetrain can keep up with their engine's performance goals.
