Skunk2 311-05-1345 Alpha Series Valve Spring Set
Springs ONLY
Dual Springs
Skunk2 is proud to introduce its Alpha Valve Spring and Titanium
Retainer Kits for Honda?s B-series VTEC
and K-series engines. Each kit includes Skunk2?s high-quality dual
valve springs and race-proven titanium retainers that are the
result of nearly two decades of racing and engine building
experience.
Each Alpha Valve Spring is manufactured exclusively from
super-clean, chrome-silicone wire milled in Japan. By using inner
and outer springs mated together through a slight interference fit
and with differing frequencies, Alpha Valve Springs are able to
prevent valve float and maintain valvetrain stability at engine
speeds in excess of 10,000 rpm.
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.
NOTE: Skunk2 Alpha Series
Valve Spring & Ti Retainer Kit are sold as complete kits, as a
set of springs OR as a set of retainers.
