So I see in the Steve Morris stuff a lot of his builds are running aluminum rods and titanium valves on the street.....

My question is how do you check them or maintain them in a street strip application. I am pretty sure my next build is or might have one or both of these in it, just curious how you keep aluminum rods happy, and if there is anything special in keeping those happy as well.

I blame Steve Morris TV for this...
