Valve Spring Locator for #26120 .630in ID

The COMP CAMS Valve Spring Locator for #26120 .630in ID (Part Number 4697-16) is a precision internal engine component engineered for high-performance and competition engine builds. This valve spring locator maintains critical seat geometry during valve train assembly, ensuring proper spring preload and valve timing stability under extreme operating conditions. The set of 16 units provides complete coverage for eight-cylinder engines or bulk inventory for engine shops and rebuilders managing multiple project builds.

Manufactured from hardened steel, this locator features a 1.510-inch outer diameter with a 0.630-inch inner diameter bore and accommodates a 0.970-inch spring ID, making it compatible with COMP CAMS' #26120 spring specifications. The 0.060-inch thickness is precision-machined to maintain strict tolerances required for repeatability in high-RPM applications. Steel construction delivers the hardness necessary to resist deformation under sustained spring pressure, critical for engines operating above 6,500 RPM where spring forces intensify significantly.

This component is essential for engine builders, machine shops, and performance enthusiasts rebuilding racing engines, stroker builds, or any application requiring precision valve train geometry. Proper valve spring locators prevent valve seat drift and maintain consistent rocker arm geometry, translating directly to predictable power delivery and extended valve train life in competition environments. Whether you're assembling a single high-performance engine or stocking your shop for production builds, the 16-unit set ensures you have locators on hand without downtime.

COMP CAMS is recognized throughout the performance engine community for exacting manufacturing standards on valve train components. This locator integrates seamlessly into complete COMP CAMS valve spring assemblies and is compatible with OEM and performance cylinder head applications using matching bore specifications.
