Product Details
When you're upgrading your Ford 3.8L or 4.2L engine with more aggressive valve springs, you need retainers that can handle the increased pressure. These steel retainers from COMP Cams are built to do just that. They are designed to work with valve springs that have larger diameters, ensuring your valvetrain stays stable under higher loads.
COMP Cams used advanced computer modeling, including 3D CAD and FEA analysis, to shape these retainers. This process helped them create a contoured top profile that reduces stress and mass, while also allowing for increased lift. Each retainer is CNC-machined to very precise measurements using CAD/CAM software, so you know they'll fit right. They're made from high-grade SAE 4140 chromemoly steel, a strong material chosen for its durability, and finished with a black oxide coating for added protection.
This particular retainer is designed for Ford 3.8L and 4.2L engines from '89-'04, specifically when used with COMP Cams' 26918 Beehive springs. It features a 7-degree lock angle and is made for stock valve stem sizes and stock spring diameters.
