Xtreme Duty Valve Springs
|
|
Valve springs are one of the most critical and most overlooked
components in your engine. They must be matched to your cam in order
for the engine to reach its full potential. It does absolutely no good to
install a cam that will RPM at 8000, if you do not have the correct springs.
The use of the wrong valve springs is one of the most common causes
of engine failure. Another is the incorrect installation of the valve springs.
Note: Specify exact cam specs when ordering to verify compatibility.

Steel Valve Spring Retainers
|
|
New valve springs with larger diameters require new retainers
to handle the higher pressures developed by the springs.
Steel retainers are the solution. Steel retainers are precision
machined from 4140 chrome moly and finished in black oxide.
These precision retainers are specifically designed for positive
location with high quality valve springs. For superior strength and
ultimate stability, we offer our 10° retainers and our 10° valve locks.
