What is the purpose of valve lock keepers?

Valve lock keepers, also known as valve collets, are small components that fit into a groove on the valve stem. They work with the valve spring retainer to keep the valve spring assembly securely attached to the valve, preventing it from coming loose during engine operation.

What does '10 DEG' and '.3415 BEAD LOC' refer to?

The '10 DEG' indicates these keepers are designed for use with 10-degree valve locks, which are a common type. The '.3415 BEAD LOC' refers to the specific size and design of the bead on the keeper, which helps it grip the valve stem and retainer securely.

Are these keepers coated?

Yes, these valve lock keepers feature a special coating. This coating is intended to improve their retention capabilities and contribute to their overall durability within the engine.
