COMP Cams Steel Retainer 1.437in-1.500in

When you're rebuilding the top end of an engine, especially if you're using valve springs with larger diameters that create higher pressures, you need retainers that can handle the load. COMP Cams Steel Retainers are designed to do just that. They are built from high-grade SAE 4140 chromemoly steel, a strong material that's up to the task.

Engineers used advanced 3D CAD and FEA to shape these retainers with a contoured top profile. This design helps reduce stress and mass, while also allowing for increased lift. Each retainer is CNC-machined to precise tolerances, ensuring a consistent fit and performance. This specific retainer is designed for valve springs with an outside diameter between 1.437 inches and 1.500 inches, like COMP Cams' own 942 valve spring.

This part fits a wide range of Chrysler and Dodge vehicles from the 1960s through the 1980s, including models like the Dodge D150 Pickup and Chrysler New Yorker. It's a solid option for anyone looking to ensure their valve train components are properly supported under demanding conditions.
