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 spring assembly securely in place, ensuring the valve operates correctly.

What does the '.3715 bead' and '7 DEG' refer to?

The '.3715 bead' refers to the diameter of the bead on the keeper, and '7 DEG' indicates the angle of the lock face. These specific dimensions are important for ensuring a precise and secure fit with the corresponding valve spring retainer.

Are these keepers sold individually or as a set?

This product is sold as a set of Manley Valve Lock/Keepers. The exact quantity included in the set is not specified, but they are intended for use in an engine's valve train.

About this part

Product Details

This product includes a set of Manley Valve Lock/Keepers, specifically the LOC-7 DEG .3715 BEAD LocCap model. These small but critical components are designed to hold your valve springs in place, working in conjunction with your valve spring retainers to maintain the correct tension and position of the valve train. Without them, your valves wouldn't seal properly, and the engine wouldn't run right.

Manley is known for making well-built engine parts, and these keepers are no exception. They are made with good materials to handle the stresses of engine operation. The .3715 bead and 7-degree lock angle are specific dimensions that ensure a precise fit with compatible retainers, which is crucial for reliable performance. Getting these details right is important for the longevity and smooth operation of your engine.

When you're rebuilding an engine or performing valve train work, having the right hardware is key. These Manley keepers are a solid option for ensuring your valve springs are securely seated.
