Product Details

If you're upgrading your valve springs, especially to something like the COMP Cams Beehive springs (26915 or 26918), you'll need retainers that can handle the increased pressure. These COMP Cams Steel Retainers are built for that job. They're designed to work with valve springs that have larger diameters, ensuring everything stays secure under higher loads.

Engineers used advanced computer modeling, including 3D CAD and FEA, to shape these retainers. This process helped them create a contoured top profile that reduces stress and mass while allowing for increased lift. They're CNC-machined from high-grade SAE 4140 chromemoly steel, which is a strong material for this application. This retainer is specifically made for 11/32" valve stems and features a 7-degree lock angle, matching the requirements of certain beehive valve springs.

This part fits a range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and Chevrolet Corvette from the mid-90s. It's a well-built component designed to work with specific valve spring setups, ensuring reliable performance for your engine's valvetrain.
