The Enginetech EPF1140 is a bulk 100 pack of valve keepers (also known as valve locks or valve spring retainer keepers) with a 3 round grooves profile. Fits 2013-2025 Chrysler/Dodge/Fiat/Ford 1.5L/2.0L/2.4L+ applications.
Important Notes
- Bulk 100 Pack for machine shops and rebuilders: covers approximately 3 complete 2-valve V8 engine rebuilds or 6 2-valve L4 rebuilds at two keepers per valve. Order additional packs for 4-valve-per-cylinder applications or higher volume.
- Two keepers per valve: keepers are split wedges that meet around the valve stem groove to form a complete collet, which locks the valve spring retainer to the stem. Always order in even quantities.
- Groove profile: matches a 3-round grooved valve stem. Keepers must match the count and shape of grooves on the valve stem exactly - a mismatch will prevent proper spring retention.
- Fits both intake and exhaust valve positions - no need to order separate intake and exhaust keepers.
- Cross-references multiple OE and aftermarket part numbers - see the OEM Cross-References section below.
- Always verify the OE valve stem diameter, groove count, groove shape (round vs square), and cylinder head material against the original keepers being replaced before installation. Keeper profiles are application-specific and cannot be interchanged freely between engines.

Enginetech Valve Keepers (also called valve locks or valve spring retainer keepers) are precision-machined split wedges that lock the spring retainer onto the valve stem groove, holding the valve spring under preload and transmitting the spring force to the valve. Each valve uses two keepers that meet around the stem groove, so a single engine requires two keepers per valve (for example, a typical V8 with 16 valves requires 32 keepers). These keepers are supplied in bulk pack quantities for machine shops and rebuilders. Always verify the valve stem diameter, groove count, groove profile (round vs square), and cylinder head material against the OE specification before installation; keeper profiles are specific to each valve family and cannot be interchanged freely even between engines of similar displacement.
