Okay gang, here's another interesting topic. I here of 7* retainers/locks and then I here of 10* retainers/locks and still I here of SUPER 7* retainers/locks.
My engines currently have 10* retainers/locks, but I was told that the SUPER 7* locks/retainers "grab the valve better"
Can someone tell me which is best for a marine application and why? Thanks

I have always used 10* locks and retainers. Never had a problem with one. I have never heard of super 7*. Maybe it is something new?? As I know it, the difference between 7* and 10* is the size and diameter of the locks. 10* locks and much larger than 7* locks. It is from the difference is size that the 10* locks stay in the retainer and hold the valve better than 7*.

Okay let me ask it this way:
In reference to a retainer angles, IS there such a thing as a "Super 7*" retainer/keeper? and why does it differ from a regular 7*???????????????????????????????
