Supertech Ford/Mazda DURATEC 2.0L/2.3L Single Beehive Valve Spring Kit

This kit includes a full set of single beehive valve springs and matching retainers designed for Ford and Mazda Duratec 2.0L and 2.3L engines. These components are crucial for the proper operation of your engine's valvetrain, ensuring that the valves open and close at the correct times and seal properly against the cylinder head.

Supertech's beehive springs are well-built and feature a tapered design that allows for lighter retainers, which in turn reduces the mass of the valvetrain. This reduction in mass is important because it helps to prevent valve float, especially at higher RPMs. Valve float occurs when the valvetrain can no longer keep up with the camshaft's profile, leading to a loss of power and potential engine damage. By using these springs and retainers, you're improving the reliability and performance of your engine's top end. The single spring design is a popular choice for many performance builds where extreme RPMs aren't the primary focus, but improved reliability and response are desired.

When rebuilding or modifying your Duratec engine, using a matched set of valve springs and retainers like this kit from Supertech is a smart move. It ensures that all components are designed to work together seamlessly. Always refer to your engine's service manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications to ensure a proper and safe installation.
