1.270 Spring Locator Set 16pk .060 Thick

The 1.270 Spring Locator Set 16pk .060 Thick from HOWARDS RACING COMPONENTS is an essential precision component for serious engine builders and performance mechanics working with valve spring assemblies. These locators are critical in applications where accurate spring seating and proper valve train geometry are non-negotiable—particularly in high-RPM naturally aspirated engines, forced induction builds, and competition powerplants. The 16-piece set ensures you have sufficient quantity for full engine builds or to maintain a well-stocked machine shop inventory.

Spring locators function as precision shims that establish correct spring pocket depth and eliminate unwanted clearance between the spring seat and the valve spring itself. The .060-inch thickness specification provides controlled stack-up and maintains precise installed height, which directly impacts spring preload and overall valve train dynamics. HOWARDS RACING COMPONENTS' locators are manufactured to tight tolerances with consistent material composition, ensuring each piece seats evenly and delivers repeatable results across your complete valve train assembly.

Professional engine builders, race teams, and advanced DIY enthusiasts benefit most from this locator set during cylinder head assembly, valve spring replacement, or complete engine rebuilds where OEM specifications are crucial. The precise bore diameter of 1.270 inches ensures compatibility with a wide range of valve springs, making this set a versatile addition to any performance engine builder's toolkit.
