What is the purpose of valve lock keepers?

Valve lock keepers, also known as valve locks or valve collets, are small components that fit into a groove on the valve stem. They work with the valve spring retainer to hold the valve in place within the cylinder head, ensuring proper valve operation.

What does '10 DEG' refer to on these keepers?

The '10 DEG' refers to the angle of the valve lock itself. This specific keeper is designed to work with valve locks that have a 10-degree taper, which is a common angle used in many engine designs.

Are these keepers sold individually or as a set?

These valve lock keepers are sold as a set of 16. This quantity is typically enough for a standard 4-cylinder engine with 8 intake and 8 exhaust valves, or other configurations requiring 16 keepers.
