What is the main advantage of using 10-degree valve locks over 7-degree locks?

The 10-degree angle on these locks helps to distribute the valve spring loads over a wider area of the retainer. This can reduce stress on the components and is beneficial in high-RPM or race applications where spring pressures are significantly increased.

Are these valve locks compatible with any brand of valve retainer?

These locks are specifically designed to fit COMP Cams 10-degree lock angle retainers and 5/16-inch valve stems. While they may fit other brands with identical specifications, it's always best to confirm compatibility with your specific retainer.

What does the 'lash cap recess' mean?

The recess is a small indentation designed to accommodate a valve lash cap. Lash caps are sometimes used in performance engine builds to protect the tip of the valve stem from wear, especially when using certain types of rocker arms.

Product Details

If you're building a high-performance engine for racing, you know how critical valve train stability is under extreme loads. These COMP Cams Titanium Super Locks are designed to handle the intense forces found in race applications, ensuring your valve train stays secure and accurate when it matters most.

Precision-machined from a fatigue-resistant metal alloy, these locks offer a strong and reliable connection between your valve stem and retainer. They feature a 10-degree angle, which is wider than the typical 7-degree angle found on many stock retainers. This wider angle helps to distribute the increasing valve spring loads more evenly across the retainer, reducing stress and improving durability in demanding situations. They are made to fit any COMP Cams 10-degree lock angle and 5/16-inch valve stem size, and include a recess for a lash cap.

This set includes 16 locks, enough for a typical V8 engine. Their titanium construction makes them a lightweight yet incredibly strong choice for serious engine builds where every component needs to perform under pressure.
