11/32 Ford 351c Val-Lock Steel 7 Degree- 4 Groove

The COMP Cams 11/32 Ford 351c Val-Lock Steel 7 Degree 4-Groove valve locks are precision-engineered components designed for high-performance Ford Cleveland and modified engine builds. These steel valve locks secure the valve spring retainer to the valve stem, preventing valve float and maintaining consistent valve timing under demanding engine conditions. Supplied as a set of 16 for complete cylinder coverage, these locks are manufactured to strict tolerances that ensure reliable performance in both street and competition applications.

The 7-degree angle geometry and 4-groove design are engineered to work with 11/32-inch valve stems at standard height, a common specification in Ford 351c engines. Steel construction provides superior durability compared to alternative materials, resisting deformation under high valve spring pressures and thermal cycling. The Val-Lock design locks positively and securely, eliminating the risk of valve stem slippage that can occur with inferior lock designs. Proper installation requires correct valve spring pressure specifications—users should verify compatibility with their specific valvetrain setup before installation.

These valve locks are intended for builders and engine shops performing Ford Cleveland rebuilds, performance upgrades, or engine modifications where OEM or worn locks require replacement. Whether restoring a classic 351c or building a modified variant, this complete set of 16 locks eliminates the need for sourcing individual pieces. COMP Cams maintains a reputation for precision valve train components, and these locks reflect that commitment to reliability and performance. Installation should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with proper valve stem lock procedures and spring pressure settings.
