CATERPILLAR-3034-VALVE-LOCK-OEM

152-9860 is a valve lock, also called a valve keeper, for the Caterpillar 3034 engine — the small tapered collet that clips into a groove on the valve stem and holds the spring retainer in place under full spring load. These are a small part with an outsized consequence if they fail: a dropped lock lets the valve retainer come loose entirely, and on an interference engine that can mean the valve drops into the cylinder. Not a part to guess the fitment on. Orange.net.za stocks the correct OEM reference for fast South Africa delivery.
