XDP XD389 PERFORMANCE VALVE SPRINGS AND RETAINER KIT FOR 99.5-03 FORD SUPERDUTY WITH 7.3L POWERSTROKE ENGINE

Fortify the valvetrain in your 1989-1998 Dodge 5.9L Cummins when you install the XDP Performance Valve Springs and Retainer Kit XD389. Valve springs are a vital upgrade that are often ignored in many performance builds.

The stock valve springs in your Cummins engine are not designed to handle the increased engine RPM or higher boost levels that are common in modified applications.

Even typical upgrades like an exhaust brake, aftermarket turbocharger, fuel plate, and injectors can trigger valve float that may result in catastrophic engine damage. In addition, your valves can be pushed open by boost and drive pressure causing reversion.

Reversion is when exhaust gasses flow back into the cylinder on the intake stroke, hindering your engine performance. These potential issues are the reason upgraded valve springs are essential on modified engines!

The XDP Performance Valve Springs and Retainer Kit XD389 features a conical design that offers improved valve control over a basic straight spring. The conical shape allows for a smaller and lighter weight spring retainer that is more robust due to the reduction in size. Unlike other aftermarket valve springs, the XD313 Valve Spring Kit can be used on a wide range of applications, from stock all the way up to race-built engines.

This makes these springs a perfect option for a one-and-done upgrade that lets you upgrade your engine to support more power in the future. Each spring is subjected to a stress relief process and is computer load mapped to give a superior-quality product with long-term resilience.

Tested within 1 lb of seat pressure, this valve spring and retainer set comes complete with locks, retainers, springs and supported by XDP's 1 year unlimited mileage warranty.

Enhance the performance of your 1999.5-2003 Ford Super Duty equipped with the 7.3L Powerstroke engine with the XDP XD389 Performance Valve Springs and Retainer Kit. This essential upgrade fortifies your valvetrain, addressing the limitations of stock valve springs that often fall short in high-performance applications.

Standard valve springs in your Powerstroke aren't designed to cope with the increased RPMs or heightened boost levels that arise from common modifications, such as installing an aftermarket turbocharger, fuel plate, and improved injectors. Failing to upgrade can lead to valve float, potentially resulting in serious engine damage. Additionally, pressures from boost and drive can push valves open, causing reversion—a detrimental phenomenon where exhaust gases flow back into the cylinder during the intake stroke, adversely impacting engine performance.

The XD389 kit features a conical spring design that promotes superior valve control compared to basic straight springs. This innovative design allows for a lighter and more robust retainer, enhancing the overall performance of your engine. Designed to cater to a variety of applications—from stock setups to race-ready configurations—this valve spring kit ensures a reliable one-time upgrade, enabling your engine to harness more power down the line.

Each spring undergoes a meticulous stress relief process and is computer load mapped, promising unmatched durability and resilience. With an operational capacity of up to 5,000 RPMs, the kit offers peace of mind for those pushing their engines to the limit. This complete set includes springs, locks, and retainers, ensuring you have everything needed for installation. Backed by XDP's 1-year unlimited mileage warranty, the XD389 Performance Valve Springs and Retainer Kit is an indispensable enhancement for performance-driven 7.3L Powerstroke engines.
