These precision-made 3-groove keepers lock the valve spring retainer securely to the valve stem, preventing valve float and ensuring proper valve train operation. Sold individually — 16 are needed for a complete engine rebuild (2 per valve, 8 valves).
- OEM-specification 3-groove design
- Precision formed for positive spring retainer lock
- OEM reference: 113-109-651A
- Sold each — order 16 for a complete 8-valve engine
Fitment: All aircooled VW engines — Type 1 Beetle & Karmann Ghia, Type 2 Bus, Type 3, Thing. Covers 1200cc through 1600cc and all standard aircooled VW cylinder head configurations.
Tip: Always replace all valve keepers any time you remove cylinder heads. They're inexpensive insurance against a dropped valve.
