Product Details

In this kit, you get 16 tool steel retainers, designed to work with 11/32" valve stems and Beehive valve springs. These retainers are a well-built option for anyone looking to improve their valve train's performance and durability, especially in demanding applications.

COMP Cams made these retainers from high-grade tool steel, which offers a great balance of light weight and exceptional strength. They're about 33% lighter than conventional chromemoly steel retainers, and only a few grams heavier than titanium. This means less mass for the valve train to move, which can help with higher RPMs. They're CNC-machined for consistent quality and have been Spintron-tested to ensure they can handle extreme RPMs. The 7-degree angle is specifically designed to fit with certain COMP Cams Beehive valve springs, like their 26915, 26918, 26986, and 26995 springs.

If you're rebuilding your top end and need a strong, reliable retainer that can withstand serious use, these tool steel retainers from COMP Cams are a solid option. Make sure to check compatibility with your specific valve springs and valve stems.
