What is the purpose of a valve spring seat?

A valve spring seat provides a stable base for the valve spring to rest on. It ensures the spring is properly positioned and exerts consistent pressure, which is vital for the correct operation of the valve train.

What does the 'SPRING CUP-ID 1.340 LT4inT' designation mean?

This designation specifies the internal diameter of the cup, which is 1.340 inches, and indicates it's intended for use with certain LT4 engine configurations. This ensures it matches the dimensions of the valve spring it's meant to support.

Does this part come with other valve train components?

This listing is for the Manley valve spring seat (part number 42168-8) only. Other valve train components like springs, retainers, or locks are typically sold separately.
