Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda/Acura K VTEC Titanium Retainer Set

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.This Part Fits: Year Make Model Submodel 2013-2017 Acura ILX Base 2002-2006 Acura RSX Base 2002-2006 Acura RSX Type-S 2015-2017 Acura TLX Base 2004-2014 Acura TSX Base 2012-2014 Acura TSX Special Edition 2003-2005 Honda Accord DX 2003-2017 Honda Accord EX 2007-2017 Honda Accord EX-L 2003-2017 Honda Accord LX 2006 Honda Accord LX Special Edition 2008-2012 Honda Accord LX-P 2008-2017 Honda Accord LX-S 2005,2011-2012 Honda Accord SE 2007 Honda Accord Special Edition 2013-2017 Honda Accord Sport 2017 Honda Accord Sport Special Edition 2006-2007 Honda Accord Value Package 2016-2017 Honda Civic EX 2016-2017 Honda Civic LX 2016 Honda Civic LX-P 2008 Honda Civic MUGEN Si 2002-2015 Honda Civic Si 2002-2016 Honda CR-V EX 2007-2016 Honda CR-V EX-L 2002-2016 Honda CR-V LX 2005-2006,2011,2016 Honda CR-V SE 2015-2016 Honda CR-V Touring 2012-2015 Honda Crosstour EX 2012-2015 Honda Crosstour EX-L 2003-2004 Honda Element DX 2003-2011 Honda Element EX 2004-2011 Honda Element LX 2007-2010 Honda Element SC
