11/32in 7 Degree Valve Locks

The 11/32in 7 Degree Valve Locks from COMP CAMS are precision-engineered components designed for high-performance engine builders and street enthusiasts seeking reliable valve train security. These locks hold valve springs in place during engine operation, preventing valve stem slip that can lead to catastrophic valve float and engine damage. Whether you're rebuilding a classic muscle car, upgrading a street performance engine, or servicing OEM valve trains, this set of 16 locks provides the retention your valvetrain demands.

Constructed from hardened steel with a black oxide finish, the 11/32in 7 Degree Valve Locks deliver superior corrosion resistance and durability under extreme heat and pressure cycles. The 7-degree angle geometry is engineered to match standard valve stem tapers, ensuring consistent clamping force across the full set while minimizing rotation and slippage during valve actuation. The black oxide coating protects against rust and oxidation in humid storage environments, and the standard height design integrates seamlessly with most aftermarket and OEM valve spring assemblies without requiring additional spacers or modifications.

Engine builders, rebuilders, and performance shops rely on COMP CAMS valve locks for both street and light competition applications where valvetrain stability is non-negotiable. The 11/32-inch stem diameter specification fits standard small-block and mid-size engine applications, making this 16-piece set ideal for complete four-cylinder, V6, or V8 engine builds. Installation requires careful valve spring compression using a proper valve spring compressor tool—correct positioning of these locks is essential for safe engine operation and longevity.
