What is the main advantage of the 10-degree angle on these valve locks?

The wider 10-degree angle helps distribute spring loads over a larger area of the retainer compared to standard 7-degree locks. This can lead to improved durability and more consistent performance, especially in race applications.

Are these valve locks suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

While designed with race applications in mind, these locks can be used in a stock engine rebuild if the valve spring pressures are within the expected range for the 10-degree design. They offer improved load distribution over standard locks.

What does the 'lash cap recess' mean?

The lash cap recess is a small indentation designed to accommodate a lash cap. Lash caps are sometimes used in specific valve train setups to help maintain proper valve geometry and protect the end of the valve stem.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for performance engine components, and their Super Valve Locks are a solid choice for anyone building or rebuilding an engine, especially for race applications. These locks are designed to hold your valve spring retainers securely in place, ensuring proper valve train function under demanding conditions. The 11/32 inch size and single groove design are common for many domestic V8 engines, making them a versatile option.

What sets these locks apart is their 10-degree angle. Unlike more common 7-degree locks, this wider angle helps distribute the increasing spring loads over a larger area of the retainer. This can lead to improved durability and more consistent performance when you're pushing your engine hard. They also feature a recess for a lash cap, which can be important for certain valve train setups to maintain proper geometry.

This set includes 100 valve locks, which is enough for a complete V8 engine. They fit a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet C1500, Buick LeSabre, and Ford F-150. If you're working on a performance build or a race engine, these well-built locks from COMP Cams offer a practical advantage.
