Valve train

Woods Engineering offers a customisable range of precision CNC-machined valve train components, designed for performance, accuracy, and reliability.

SPRING RETAINERS AND SPRING SEATS

Custom valve spring retainers and spring seats can be designed and manufactured from 4140 chrome-moly steel, providing an ideal solution where suitable off-the-shelf options are limited or unavailable. Titanium material also available upon request.

The benefits of custom retainers and seats include:

• Adjustable (longer /shorter) installed spring height (affecting valve spring pressures)

• Clearance solutions (e.g., allowing for rocker arms / rocker cover)

• Accommodation of different valve spring diameters

• Accurate valve stem seal clearances

• Precise control of spring location

VALVE GUIDES

Custom-made valve guides provide effective solutions across a wide range of applications and are particularly useful for:

• ‍Worn valve guides

• Oversized guide outer diameters

• Aftermarket valve stem seal fitting and compatibility

• Changes in valve stem diameter

• Obsolete part replacements

• Incorrect spring location issues (often overlooked)
