About this item

  • Maximum Strength - Manufactured from chromemoly steel, COMP Cams' steel retainers are heat-treated and black oxided to ensure high strength and minimal warpage. This ensures long term durability and resistance to deformation.
  • Superior Quality - Instead of using cheap steel, COMP Cams' steel retainers are constructed from high quality chromemoly steel, ensuring high performance and resistance to deformation and cracking.
  • Precision Machined - Manufactured in house using high tech machines, COMP's chromemoly steel retainers are precision machined to ensure optimum load distribution, greater strength and durability.
  • Expansive Fitment Options - Available in 7 and 10 degree lock angles along with 5.5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 11/32" and 3/8" valve stem diameters, COMP Cams has a steel retainer for your engine.
  • 10 degree lock angle and is designed to fit 1.437"-1.500" OD springs like our 988 and 950
  • Made in USA


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 Big Block Chevy, Chrysler and Big Block Ford 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.

Have a 340 Cuda engine and upgraded to roller rockers but the old spring retainers hit the new rockers. These have a lower profile and rounded edges so they don't!

Amazon's illustrious "These products fit your vehicle:" fell in the rubbish tin on this one. Said they were correct for an AMC V8. Amazon was wrong (Gasp!! The horror!!!). Appear very hard and super high quality, just not for AMC's (the boss on the underside is too large to fit into the AMC spring ID. See pics. AMC retainer on right, this one on left.
