    Valve Keepers, which do you prefer, bead locks or square groove
    For Titanium valves?
    SS Valves?

    How often do you replace the keepers?

    bead locks

    helps stop the riser cracks from happening in the groove

    I have used the Manton radial groove lash locks since I built my hemi....never a problem with them....I do replace a pair of keepers occasionally if they get beat up from the roller and also replace a valve occasionally if the groove gets sloppy....I just keep a close watch on the bead to groove fit to make sure they are fairly tight....Noel makes the best valve train parts available!

    I use the Manley LocCap system with bead locks. I haven't had a single issue with these other than they are a pain in the butt to get on and off.

    The subject is "Boxers or Briefs?" When they started talking about valve keepers I thought "Sure didn't take long to get off topic."

    My post was to redirect the conversation back to the original topic, that's all.

    BTW, these two big guys prefer briefs:

    Bob, what's a dinger? Is that some sort of chassis builder/welder terminology?
    Or is it just a thing you San Diego macho guys have going on?[​IMG]
