Spring Locators - .570 ID 1.635in

COMP Cams Spring Locators in .570 ID 1.635" OD dimensions are precision internal valve spring components engineered to maintain consistent spring positioning and pressure distribution within the valve train. These hardened steel locators function as spacers that sit between the valve spring and the cylinder head, ensuring proper preload and preventing unwanted spring migration during high-RPM operation. Supplied as a set of 16 units, they are essential components for engine builders, machine shops, and performance technicians assembling or rebuilding four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines where exact spring seat geometry is critical.

The 0.570" inner diameter accommodates standard valve spring bores, while the 1.635" outer diameter and 0.060" thickness are OEM-spec dimensions for engines requiring this particular locator profile. The 0.870" spring ID specification indicates the compatible spring size these locators support. Manufactured from quality steel and precision-ground to tight tolerances, these locators prevent spring coil bind, reduce harmonics, and maintain valve train stability across varying engine speeds and loads. Proper spring locator selection is fundamental to avoiding valve float, extending component life, and ensuring repeatable engine performance.

Spring locators are required components in any complete valve spring assembly, whether for stock engine repair, performance cam installation, or competition engine builds. Engine builders working with COMP Cams performance camshaft packages rely on precision locators to guarantee the correct spring seat height and damping characteristics specified for each cam profile. Technicians restoring original equipment engines also depend on OEM-equivalent locators to restore factory performance and reliability. The 16-piece set quantity allows coverage across multiple cylinders or inventory for repeat projects.
