What is the purpose of a valve spring retainer?

A valve spring retainer holds the valve spring in place at the top of the valve stem. It works with valve locks to keep the spring compressed and the valve sealed when the camshaft lobe is not engaged.

Why is titanium used for this retainer?

Titanium is used because it is very strong for its weight. This reduces the mass of the valvetrain, which can help the engine rev more freely and reliably at high speeds.

What does the '7 degree' refer to?

The '7 degree' refers to the angle of the groove where the valve locks fit. This angle is important for matching the retainer to the specific valve locks and ensuring a secure fit within the valve spring assembly.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of an engine, especially for performance applications, the valve train components need to be strong and light. This Ferrea titanium retainer is designed to work with double valve springs and features a 7-degree lock angle, which is a common specification for many performance camshafts and cylinder heads. Using titanium here helps reduce the overall mass of the valvetrain, which can lead to improved engine response and reliability at higher RPMs.

Ferrea is known for making well-built valvetrain components, and this retainer is no exception. The titanium construction offers a good strength-to-weight ratio, making it a solid choice for builds where every ounce counts. The 7-degree groove ensures it locks securely onto the valve stem, providing a stable connection for the valve spring assembly.
