Valve Spring Cup
Valve spring cups are integral components of an engine's valvetrain system. These small, often overlooked parts play a crucial role in maintaining proper valve function and engine performance. Valve springs are responsible for closing the engine's intake and exhaust valves at the right moment, and valve spring cups help ensure these springs operate smoothly and efficiently.

Valve spring cups are typically made of durable materials like steel or aluminum, and they are placed over the valve stem ends where they contact the valve spring. Their primary function is to provide a smooth and stable surface for the valve springs to rest on. This prevents the springs from damaging or wearing down the valve stems, which could lead to reduced engine performance and potential engine damage.
Selecting the correct valve spring cups is essential to maintain the reliability and longevity of your engine. When choosing valve spring cups, consider factors such as the type of valve springs you are using, the material of the valve stems, and the intended application of your engine. Different engine configurations and performance levels may require specific types or sizes of valve spring cups. It's crucial to match the cups to your valve springs to ensure a proper fit and optimal valvetrain performance.
