Product Details

The COMP Cams 742-1 is a precision-engineered 7-degree steel valve spring retainer designed specifically for Small Block Chevy (SBC) and Chevrolet/Buick V6 engines. This high-quality retainer is manufactured from durable steel to withstand the demanding conditions of high-performance valve train operation.

Key Specifications:

  • 7-degree retainer angle for optimized valve spring geometry
  • 1.250" outer diameter spring compatibility
  • Steel construction for superior strength and durability
  • Application-specific design for SBC and Chevrolet/Buick V6 engines
  • Precision machined for accurate valve spring retention

This retainer is an essential component in the valve train assembly, ensuring proper valve spring positioning and performance. The 7-degree angle helps optimize spring forces and reduces side loading on the valve stem, contributing to improved engine longevity and performance. Compatible with valve springs featuring a 1.250" outer diameter, this retainer is ideal for performance builds and engine rebuilds requiring quality valve train components.
