What is the primary benefit of using these COMP Cams retainers?

These retainers are specifically designed to handle the higher pressures generated by larger diameter valve springs. Their advanced contoured top profiling helps reduce stress and mass, allowing for increased lift and improved valvetrain reliability.

What material are these retainers made from and what finish do they have?

They are precision machined from high-grade SAE 4140 chromemoly steel. The retainers also feature a black oxide finish, which helps protect them against corrosion.

Are these retainers compatible with any valve springs?

This set of 32 retainers is specifically designed to work with COMP Cams 26123 Beehive springs. It's important to ensure compatibility with your specific valve spring choice for optimal performance and safety.

Product Details

If you're working on the valve springs for your 1996-2004 Ford Mustang with the 4.6L 4-valve engine, these COMP Cams Steel Retainers are a solid choice. When you upgrade to valve springs with larger diameters, they create higher pressures that stock retainers might not be able to handle. These retainers are built to manage that increased load, ensuring your valvetrain stays reliable.

COMP Cams used 3D CAD and FEA to design these retainers with a contoured top profile. This design helps reduce stress and mass while allowing for increased lift, which is crucial for performance builds. They're CNC-machined from high-grade SAE 4140 chromemoly steel to exact tolerances, meaning they fit precisely and are built to last. The black oxide finish adds a layer of protection against corrosion.

This set includes 32 retainers, specifically designed to work with COMP Cams 26123 Beehive springs. They are designed for a 7-degree lock angle and fit a stock valve stem size with a .943-inch spring diameter. Make sure to check the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on fitting these retainers with your chosen valve springs.
