T Hancock Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hey everybody. I'm just about done with my engine reassembly and saw that a valve retainer looks damaged. It would probably work but I would rather replace it. I have checked the parts sites, Oldmoparparts, Andy Bernbaum with no luck. If anybody would know where I might be able to purchase a couple of these it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Go to your local auto mechanic who still or has repaired like engines. They will have a jar full of them on a top shelf. But the key is a mechanic who is older than 59! My mechanic knew immediately where his jar was. good luck. ps when you find that mechanic, NEVER forget where he is!

NOS MOPAR 1313268 33-50; 51-54 6 CYL Retainer Valve Spring 395930 cHECK TO SEE IF THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. aLL MODELS USED THE SAME FROM 1937-52 VALVE SPRING RETAINER. ALSO TRY THIS LISTING IT HAS PICTURES OF THE RETAINERS AND THE KEEPERS: 1930's 1940's 1950's NORS Plymouth Dodge Chrysler Valve Spring Retainers & Locks NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR BUT DOING SOME RESHERACH ON EBAY WILL ALWAYS COME UP WITH SOMETHING AND ALSO BY HAVE THE OLD CROSS REFERENCE CATALOGS IS WHAT MAKES IT EASIER TO FIND PARTS. tHESE CATALOGS SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR CAR LIBRARY TO HELP IN FINDING THE PARTS.

Andydodge Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 HMH.......can you be more specific regarding what you need............is it the two piece keeper or lock that fits around the end of the valve or the valve spring retainer that the spring sits on and the lock fits into?...............andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 He needs....the 1-3/8" diameter valve spring retainer... It requires two (2) valve keepers with four grooves in each to retain the spring and retainer to the valve..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
