Spring Locator 1.625 O.D .570 I.D. .060 Thickness

The COMP CAMS Spring Locator 1.625 O.D .570 I.D. .060 Thickness is a precision engine component designed for valve spring assembly and maintenance in high-performance and stock engine builds. Available as a set of 16 units, this locator serves as a critical spacer and positioning tool for valve springs during installation, disassembly, and rebuild operations. Whether you're a professional engine builder, technician, or serious enthusiast performing top-end work, this component ensures proper spring seating and prevents misalignment that can compromise valve operation and engine reliability.

Manufactured from steel with precise dimensional tolerances, the Spring Locator features a 1.625-inch outer diameter, 0.570-inch inner diameter, and 0.060-inch wall thickness—specifications engineered to work as an inner locator that sits between the valve spring and its seat or retainer. The locator's design prevents lateral spring movement and reduces the risk of coil bind, spring surge, and uneven load distribution across the valve assembly. This precision-stamped component ensures consistent fit across all 16 pieces in the set, critical when working on multiple cylinders or rebuilding complete engine heads where uniformity directly affects compression, valve timing, and overall engine performance.

This set is ideal for mechanics and engine builders working on domestic and import performance engines, race applications, and professional engine machine shops. The 16-piece quantity supports complete engine rebuilds or multiple project vehicles without reordering. Proper installation requires that locators be seated flush against the valve spring base before retainer installation—a step that's especially critical in high-RPM, supercharged, or turbocharged applications where spring stability directly impacts reliability. Always verify compatibility with your specific valve spring specifications and engine head design before installation.
