Valve spring retainer for boat engines

Discover our valve spring retainers for boat engines. These small valvetrain components keep the valve spring in place and are essential to the reliability of the cylinder head on a marinised engine.

The role of the valve spring retainer

The valve spring retainer (or valve spring cap) supports the spring and holds the collets in position. It helps control valve opening and closing and keeps the spring correctly seated under load.

Worn, cracked or deformed retainers can lead to poor spring seating, excessive play and, in extreme cases, severe damage in the cylinder head.

When to replace valve spring retainers on a marine engine

During cylinder head overhaul or when replacing valves and springs, it is strongly recommended to inspect and renew the valve spring retainers. On a boat engine, high load, heat and long running hours put extra stress on the valvetrain.

Good quality retainers help secure valve lift and timing and maintain engine performance on VOLVO, MERCURY, MERCRUISER, OMC and PCM marine engines.
