    High Performance Valve Springs High Performance Valve Springs

    APE high performance valve springs are necessary with any high lift and/or aggressive camshaft profile. Every APE valve spring is manufactured from chrome silicon spring steel and electronically tested for defects. Every spring is designed to provide maximum valve control for a particular application without causing excessive power robbing pressure.


    Titanium Valve Spring Retainers

    APE valve spring retainers are machined from aircraft quality titanium bar stock in the APE plant on the latest state of the art computerized CNC machinery. CNC machining allows APE to offer such advantages as bored taper keeper holes for exact keeper fit, something not possible in retainers made on a screw machine with form tools. Special gauging fixtures allow dimensions to be held close to provide exact installed heights when assembling the cylinder head. APE titanium retainers are shorter than stock to provide additional retainer to valve guide clearance for high lift cams.
