  Engine Valve Spring Retainer, Retainer Valve Spring

• Description:

  The Ford Edge Engine Valve Spring Retainer with part number 1S7Z-6514-AA is a critical component used in the valve train of the engine. It is responsible for holding the valve spring in place, ensuring the proper functioning of the engine's intake and exhaust valves. The retainer works together with other components like valve springs, keepers, and the valves themselves to regulate the opening and closing of the engine's valves during the combustion cycle. Description: Part Number: 1S7Z-6514-AA Component Type: Engine Valve Spring Retainer Application: Primarily used in Ford Edge models, but also applicable to other Ford vehicles with similar engine configurations. It is typically found in engines using overhead valve (OHV) or dual overhead cam (DOHC) designs. Material: Often made from high-strength steel, titanium, or other durable metals capable of withstanding high engine temperatures and pressures. Function: Holds the valve spring in place on the valve stem, ensuring it maintains the correct tension and positioning during engine operation. Specifications: Material: Typically made of hardened steel or other high-strength materials designed for the high stresses experienced in engine valve systems. Coating/Finish: Often treated with anti-corrosion coatings, such as zinc or phosphate finishes, to prevent rust and wear. Compatibility: Designed to be used with specific Ford Edge engine configurations or similar Ford engines that utilize this valve spring retainer. Key Features: Durability: Built to withstand the repetitive stresses and heat cycles found within an engine?s valve train, ensuring long-lasting reliability and performance. Secure Fit: The retainer securely holds the valve spring in place, preventing it from coming loose or misaligned, which could lead to engine failure. High-Strength Construction: Made from materials that resist deformation, even under the high-pressure conditions that occur in modern engines. Corrosion Resistance: Often treated to resist rust and other forms of corrosion, ensuring the part performs effectively for extended periods, especially in harsh environments. Precision Engineering: Designed to exact specifications to ensure compatibility and performance, helping to maintain the engine's proper timing and function. Maintenance-Friendly: Easy to inspect and replace during valve train service or when the cylinder head is removed for maintenance. Key Functions: Holds Valve Spring in Position: The main function of the valve spring retainer is to keep the valve spring properly positioned on the valve stem, ensuring correct valve operation. Works with Valve Keepers: It works in tandem with valve keepers (collets) to maintain the spring's tension and prevent it from dislodging during the engine?s operation. Ensures Proper Valve Timing: By maintaining the correct tension on the valve spring, the retainer contributes to the engine's overall performance by ensuring proper valve timing and efficiency. Replacement Considerations: Signs of Wear: When performing valve train maintenance, inspect the valve spring retainer for any signs of cracking, wear, or corrosion. Replacing worn or damaged retainers is crucial for maintaining engine performance. Compatibility: Ensure the valve spring retainer matches the specifications of your specific engine model to prevent installation issues and ensure optimal performance. OEM Parts: For the best reliability and performance, it?s advisable to use an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) retainer, such as the 1S7Z-6514-AA, as it ensures proper fitment and durability. Applications: The 1S7Z-6514-AA valve spring retainer is designed for use in Ford Edge models, but may also be compatible with other Ford vehicles from similar engine families, including certain Ford F-150, Mustang, and Fusion models, depending on the engine type. By ensuring proper retention of the valve spring, this component helps maintain engine performance, reduce wear, and extend the life of the engine's valve train.

• Applications: 2.5L. 2.3L DOHC. 2.0L (2020-22). 2.0L W/O TURBO. 2.0L W/O HYBRID. 2.0L DOHC (TIMING CHAIN).
