What is included in this valve spring and retainer kit?

This kit includes 16 GSC Power-Division beehive valve springs and 16 titanium retainers. It is designed to work with your vehicle's original spring seats.

Why choose beehive valve springs and titanium retainers?

Beehive springs and titanium retainers reduce the overall mass of the valvetrain. This allows the valves to follow the camshaft more accurately at higher engine speeds, which is beneficial for performance builds.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Installation of valve springs and retainers typically requires specialized tools such as a valve spring compressor and a leak-down tester or compressed air setup to keep the valves seated. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific tool requirements and procedures.

Product Details

This kit gives you everything you need to upgrade the valve springs and retainers on your DOHC Subaru EJ engine: 16 titanium retainers and 16 beehive valve springs. These parts are specifically made for the EJ257 engine found in many Subaru Imprezas, WRX STIs, and the Saab 9-2X.

Beehive springs are a popular choice because their tapered design allows for lighter retainers, which means less mass moving around at high RPM. This helps the valves follow the camshaft profile more accurately, especially when you're pushing the engine hard. The titanium retainers are strong and lightweight, further reducing valvetrain mass. This kit is designed to work with your OE spring seats, simplifying installation.

If you're rebuilding the top end of your EJ257 or looking for improved valve control at higher engine speeds, this kit is a solid option. Just remember to use your original spring seats when installing these components.
