Valve Locks - 10 Degree -.050 w/Lash Cap Recess

Valve locks are essential internal engine components that secure valve springs and prevent valve float during high-RPM operation. The COMP CAMS Valve Locks - 10 Degree -.050 w/Lash Cap Recess are precision-engineered for serious enthusiasts and professional engine builders who demand reliability in performance and racing applications. These locking keepers maintain critical valve geometry under extreme conditions, making them indispensable for any upgraded valve train assembly.

Manufactured from hardened steel with black oxide finish for corrosion resistance, these valve locks feature a 10-degree locking angle that ensures positive engagement with the valve stem and spring seat. The 0.050-inch reduced height specification accommodates tighter engine deck clearances without sacrificing clamping force, while the integrated lash cap recess allows proper valve clearance adjustment and maintenance. The set of 16 locks provides complete coverage for eight-cylinder engines, with each piece manufactured to COMP CAMS' strict tolerances for consistent performance and longevity.

Professional engine builders, drag racing competitors, and high-performance street car builders rely on these valve locks when assembling competition and performance valve trains. They are compatible with 3/8-inch valve stems and work seamlessly with COMP CAMS cylinder head packages and aftermarket spring combinations. Installation requires proper valve spring compressor tools and should be performed during complete valve train assembly to ensure correct seating and alignment.
