What size valve springs are these retainers designed for?

These COMP Cams retainers are designed for valve springs with outer diameters ranging from 1.437 inches to 1.500 inches. They are specifically intended for use with springs that develop higher pressures.

What material are these retainers made from?

They are precision machined from high-grade SAE 4140 chromemoly steel. This material is chosen for its strength and reliability under the stresses of the valve train.

What is the lock angle on these retainers?

These retainers feature a 7-degree lock angle, which is a common specification for many engine builds. This angle is important for proper seating of the valve keepers.

Product Details

When you're upgrading your valve springs, especially to those with larger diameters that create higher pressures, you need retainers that can handle the load. COMP Cams Steel Retainers are built for this job. They are made from high-grade SAE 4140 chromemoly steel, which is a strong and reliable material for the demands of the engine's valve train.

Engineers used advanced 3D CAD and FEA to design these retainers with a contoured top profiling. This design helps reduce stress on the components, allows for increased lift, and cuts down on overall mass. Each retainer is CNC-machined to exact tolerances, ensuring a precise fit for your valve stems and springs. This set is designed for 11/32" valve stems and valve springs with diameters ranging from 1.437" to 1.500", and they feature a 7-degree lock angle.

This set of 16 retainers fits a wide range of vehicles, including many Ford models like the Bronco, E-Series vans, and F-Series trucks from the 1960s through the 1990s. They are black oxided for a durable finish.
