well one of my patriot extreme dual .660 spring retainers let go but the locks held so the valve didnt drop... my cam is under .600 lift...

 

wow. thats Ti too. must be a bad one. sux man, at least there is no engine damage.

 

it's bc of that big black thing on top of your engine jj man

 

Well one call to patriot and they said soon as they get the email of my pics theyll have me a new spring in the mail free of charge!! GREAT customer service!!

 

Wow, that's wild man, I haven't heard of too many failures with those! How many miles on those springs? I've heard that titanium retainers are lighter and stronger, but also wear quicker, maybe there's something to that...

 

Less than 3k miles...

 

That sucks man, glad to hear Patriot stepped up

 

how did u know it was broken? was there a ticking sound of some sort? which valves and retainers have u got in there?

 

yea truck was making a clicking sound and i didnt like it so i pulled the valve cover.. its the patriot extreme dual valve springs, rated at .660 lift, titanium retainers and locks...

 

atleast you got it figured out!

I broke all 8 of my patriot intake springs on the last motor. (my fault) drove it till I had no vacuum lmao. Luckily the retainers held and it didn't drop a valve. Few hours later, set of springs, and the proper bases I was back in business haha.
