One of my engine's valve seats has gone once again, and while I have my head open to get that problem addressed, I am going to take the opportunity to put in new valves, valve retainers, and valve springs. However, frankly (how evil for a moderator to admit ignorance about his own car... I cringe and hang my head in shame) I don't know much about my various choices.
I want quality, and I am not afraid to put down some change to get it, particularly with my valve springs. However, I also don't want to pay up the nose for top notch parts, the full capabilities of which I may never push my car hard enough to utilize (for example, I know there are 14,000-rpm valve springs available for Honda B series engines - my engine will never see much above 8,000 rpms, if ever). My friend has recommended getting Ferra valves, retainers, and springs. However, since I know nothing about this company, I am hesitant about their products.
Anybody know anything they'd like to share that could help me out? My engine, by the way, is a B18C1. Thanks, much obliged,
-JD
