COMP Cams 742-16 7 Steel Retainer Set of 16 for Chevrolet Small Block w/ 1.250" OD Spring

Valve springs with larger diameters require retainers to handle the higher pressures developed by the springs. COMP Cams steel retainers are the perfect solution. This 7 degree steel retainer for Chevrolet V6 and Small Block, as well as Buick V6 applications is precision machined from 4140 chromemoly steel and finished in black oxide. This precision retainer is specifically designed for positive location when combined with COMP Cams high-quality valve springs.
