The new COMP Cams Lightweight Tool Steel Retainers provide valve train benefits: light weight, as well as exceptional strength and wear characteristics
Why is it cool?
The new COMP Cams Lightweight Tool Steel Retainers provide valve train benefits: light weight, as well as exceptional strength and wear characteristics:
- Approximately 33 percent lighter than conventional chromemoly steel retainers
- 2-4 grams heavier than titanium
- Made from high grade Tool Steel
- CNC-machined for consistent quality
When used as part of a well engineered valve train system, these unique retainers offer control of valve motion and high rpm stability – benefits normally only associated with more expensive titanium retainers.
COMP Cams Lightweight Tool Steel Retainers were developed using the latest FEA and CAD software to allow for optimization of weight and strength.
Technical:
Spintron-tested to extreme rpm, these lightweight retainers were subjected to grueling race simulations without failure, thus validating early material tests which found them to have strength equivalent to that of both titanium and standard steel retainers.
Currently these innovative new retainers are available for 1.437” & 1.500” double valve springs and accept COMP’s 10° Super Locks.
