Valve springs are the first component to go away - loose their service life. Anything that can be done to extend that service life will be a plus to the buyer.
Titanium retainers were only $54.99 Edelbrock Marine heads come without springs, retainers and locks. $1,495.00 at most mail order places.
Edit: You would be suprised how inexpensive that engine package would be to purchase outright.
The same engine with a BDS 8-71, chiller and 2 custom carbs would run a tad over 18K. Same for a single carb whipple system.
My point being, there is no additional cost passed on to the consumer. My quote compared to a stock deal from the largest supplier of marine engines (no name).
Info is that $ replacement or drop in?????
