Product Details

The COMP Cams 616-1 is a precision-engineered valve spring retainer designed for high-performance engine builds. This retainer features a 10-degree angle configuration with a 3/8" stem diameter, optimized for applications requiring enhanced valve train stability and higher RPM operation.

Key Features:

  • 10-degree retainer angle for improved spring alignment and reduced side loading
  • 3/8" valve stem diameter compatibility
  • Single groove lock design for secure keeper retention
  • Manufactured without lash cap recess for specific valve train configurations
  • +.050" additional height provides extra clearance for increased valve lift applications
  • Precision machined from high-quality materials for durability and reliability

This retainer is ideal for performance and racing applications where increased valve lift and aggressive cam profiles demand precise valve train control. The 10-degree design helps maintain optimal spring geometry throughout the valve's travel, reducing wear and improving consistency at high engine speeds. The additional .050" height accommodates taller valve spring installations or applications requiring extra coil bind clearance.
