Product Description

The Brian Crower BC2020-1 Titanium Retainer is engineered for Honda and Acura B-series engines, specifically the B18A, B18B, and B20B variants. Constructed from high-grade 6AL4V titanium, this retainer offers a significant weight reduction - approximately 40% lighter than its steel counterparts - without compromising strength. This reduction in weight contributes to improved valve train response and higher RPM potential, making it an excellent choice for performance enthusiasts seeking to enhance their engine's capabilities.

With a stock installation height and precise dimensions, the BC2020-1 is designed for seamless integration into existing valve spring setups. It is particularly suited for dual spring applications with limited street use, as recommended by Brian Crower. While titanium retainers are known for their strength, they may experience wear over time in dual spring configurations, especially under high-mileage conditions. Therefore, it's advisable to monitor their condition regularly if used in such setups.

Whether you're building a high-performance street engine or preparing for track use, the BC2020-1 Titanium Retainer provides the durability and performance enhancements needed to push your B-series engine to its limits.
