★ Valve spring retainers are critical components that hold the valve springs in position. When overhauling or repairing the cylinder head, replacement is recommended.
Application
Suitable for Dodge 6-cylinder engines 218, 230 and 251 cubic inch, as fitted to WC-series trucks (T-214 engines) and later M37-series vehicles (T-245 engines). These components are applicable to all inlet and exhaust valves of the aforementioned engine types.
Installation notes
The valve spring retainer is installed between the valve spring and valve stem, secured by the valve keepers (valve spring locks). For fitting, a valve spring compressor is required to compress the spring. Caution: work carefully, dropped keepers falling into the engine block can cause serious damage.
Compatibility
These valve spring retainers are universal for all valves on Dodge 218, 230 and 251 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder engines. The T-214 and T-245 engine blocks use the same overhaul parts for the valve train, despite different accessories and applications.
Historical context
The Dodge flathead 6-cylinder engines were the heart of thousands of WC-series trucks during WWII and remained in service in the post-war M37-series. These robust side-valve engines were designed for reliability and maintenance under harsh conditions.
