Product Details

When you're upgrading your valve springs, especially to ones with larger diameters that handle higher pressures, you'll need retainers that can keep up. This set of 16 COMP Cams Steel Retainers is designed to do just that. They are precision machined from high-grade SAE 4140 chromemoly steel, which is a strong and durable material for engine components. The retainers are CNC-machined to exact tolerances using CAD/CAM software, ensuring a precise fit and consistent performance.

COMP Cams engineers used advanced 3D CAD with FEA analysis to develop a modern, contoured top profiling. This design helps reduce stress on the retainer, allows for increased valve lift, and lowers overall mass. The black oxide finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance and gives them a clean look. These retainers feature a 7-degree lock angle and are specifically made for 3/8-inch valve stems and outer diameter valve springs ranging from 1.437 to 1.500 inches. They fit a wide range of vehicles, including many Chevrolet C/K series trucks and Dodge trucks from the 1980s and early 1990s, as well as Chrysler Cordoba and Dodge Diplomat models.
