Titanium valves?
I got a set of titanium valves both intake and exhaust. My question is I know they are more brittle than stainless valves and are not 100,000 mile valves. But can I use them for the street. I really don't plan on goin over 30,000 miles on them. Any info would help, thanks guys.

I wouldn't use them... they're made to be as lightweight as possible, not set up for any degree of long-term durability at all...
Sell them to a racer, buy a set of stainless steel valves with part of what you can get for them, and use the rest of the money for something else.

I bought the whole set for $80.00. They are Del west. So i'll see what i can get for them. They are used one race but are not worn. I would love to use them in my motor, but don't want to screw anyting up
