What is the purpose of valve locks?

Valve locks, also known as keepers, are small components that fit into grooves on the valve stem. They work with the valve spring retainer to hold the valve spring assembly securely onto the valve.

Why is the 7-degree angle important?

The 7-degree angle refers to the taper of the valve lock, which matches the angle of the valve spring retainer. Using the correct angle ensures a snug fit and prevents the retainer from slipping off the lock.

Are these sold individually or as a set?

The part number 13093-1 indicates these valve locks are sold individually. You will need to purchase the correct quantity for your engine's valves, typically two per valve.
