Skunk2 Racing Alpha Titanium Retainer Kit for Honda/Acura B Series Engines

Skunk2's industry-leading Alpha Titanium Retainers are designed to significantly reduce valvetrain mass, resulting in more horsepower and improved valvetrain stability. Similar to Skunk2's already popular Pro Series Titanium Retainers, Alpha Titanium Retainers feature radius-cut edges for additional rocker arm clearance and reduced weight, strategically positioned lightening grooves, and reduced overall heights for better valve seal clearance and even further weight reduction. Alpha Titanium Retainers are manufactured using the latest 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to ensure that each is optimized for strength as well as for reduced weight. Skunk2 engineers then test and prove their designs on the engine dyno as well as the race track. Once approved for manufacturing, only medical-grade titanium that's been ultrasonically inspected and certified is used. Following CNC machining, each retainer is then individually inspected to ensure proper hole diameter, taper, and that each are free from machining defects to ensure proper installed valve spring heights and pressures. Finally, each retainer is serialized for your protection, including valuable information, like material batch specifics as well as production and inspection dates. 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. Skunk2 designs, develops, and tests its entire valvetrain lineup in-house to ensure superior quality and maximum performance gains.

Enhance your engine's valvetrain performance with the Skunk2 Racing Alpha Titanium Retainer Kit, designed specifically for Honda and Acura B Series engines from 1994 to 2001. Crafted from high-grade titanium, these retainers are engineered to reduce valvetrain mass significantly, resulting in increased horsepower and improved stability at high RPMs. The precision radius-cut edges provide additional clearance for rocker arms and help decrease overall weight, contributing to more efficient valve operation and less stress on valvetrain components. Strategically placed lightening grooves further reduce mass without compromising strength, ensuring durability under demanding conditions.
Using advanced manufacturing techniques such as 3D CAD modeling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Skunk2 engineers optimize each retainer for maximum strength and minimal weight. Each component undergoes rigorous testing on engine dynos and race tracks to validate performance at high RPMs, including applications exceeding 17,000 rpm. Only medical-grade titanium, certified through ultrasonic inspection, is used to produce each retainer, guaranteeing quality and reliability. After CNC machining, every retainer is individually inspected for proper hole diameter, taper, and defect-free surfaces. To ensure proper installation and performance, each retainer is serialized with detailed production and inspection data, providing added assurance of quality.
Designed and developed in-house, Skunk2's valvetrain components are built to deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and longevity. Whether used in drag racing engines surpassing 11,000 rpm or on high-performance street setups, these Alpha Titanium Retainers are a crucial upgrade for serious enthusiasts seeking maximum valvetrain efficiency. The set includes two titanium retainers with a 7-degree keeper seat, perfectly compatible with Honda Civic del Sol (1994-2001) and Honda Prelude (1996-2001). Invest in Skunk2's industry-leading engineering and experience the difference in your engine’s performance and durability.
