About This Product
These retaining rings for valve guides are essential hardware for top-end work on classic Shovelhead engines. Specifically designed for 1980 to 1984 Big Twin 1340 Shovel models, these rings ensure the valve guides stay securely seated within the cylinder head. They are sold as a set of 10, providing enough components for a complete engine overhaul with spares for the bench. These rings are manufactured to meet or exceed original specifications, replacing OEM numbers 18105-79 and 555528. For any mechanic working on late-era Shovelheads, having a fresh set of these retaining rings is a standard requirement for a reliable and professional head rebuild.
Manufacturer part number: 555528.
