What material are these retainers made from?

These retainers are precision machined from high-grade SAE 4140 chromemoly steel. This material is chosen for its strength and durability, making it suitable for high-pressure engine applications.

What type of valve springs are these retainers designed for?

They are specifically designed for engines using COMP Cams' 983 Ovate Wire valve springs. They are also suitable for other valve springs that have larger diameters and develop higher pressures.

What does the '10 degree lock angle' mean?

The 10-degree lock angle refers to the angle of the groove where the valve keepers (or locks) seat. This specific angle is important for proper engagement with the valve keepers to secure the retainer to the valve stem.

Product Details

When you're upgrading your engine's valve springs, especially to those with higher pressures, you need retainers that can handle the extra load. These COMP Cams Steel Retainers are built for that exact purpose. They're designed to work with valve springs that have larger diameters and develop more pressure, ensuring your valvetrain stays secure and functions correctly under demanding conditions.

COMP Cams used advanced 3D CAD and FEA analysis 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 to very precise measurements from high-grade SAE 4140 chromemoly steel, a strong material known for its durability. These retainers are specifically made for engines using COMP's 983 Ovate Wire valve springs and feature a 10-degree lock angle, fitting a wide range of vehicles.

These retainers are a solid option for anyone rebuilding or modifying their engine's valvetrain. They are designed to fit right and handle the forces involved with performance valve springs.
