Valve Lock Set 10-Deg 11/32 +.035

The Valve Lock Set 10-Deg 11/32 +.035 from HOWARDS RACING COMPONENTS is a precision valve retention component engineered for high-performance and racing engine builds. These locks secure valve springs to the valve stem, preventing unwanted valve float during aggressive cam profiles and high-RPM operation. Whether you're building a street performance engine, road racing platform, or weekend drag strip competitor, proper valve locking is critical to engine reliability and longevity under extreme valve train stress.

This valve lock set features a 10-degree lock angle geometry, which provides optimal retention while minimizing stem stress and wear. The 11/32-inch diameter sizing accommodates standard small-block and mid-displacement valve stems, while the +.035-inch specification allows for precise fitment on stems within that tolerance range. HOWARDS RACING COMPONENTS manufactures these locks to exacting tolerances using hardened steel, ensuring consistent performance across thousands of engine cycles and preventing catastrophic valve stem damage that can result from improper seating or excessive spring pressure loads.

This valve lock set is ideal for engine builders, performance shops, and serious enthusiasts upgrading valvetrain components during engine assembly or rebuild. Installation pairs seamlessly with upgraded valve springs, roller rockers, and high-lift camshafts commonly found in performance applications. Always verify valve stem diameter and spring pressure specifications for optimal compatibility.
