Intake Exhaust Valve Spring Retainer for Sea-Doo RXT X AS 260 1503 2011-2016

Intake/Exhaust Valve Spring Retainer for Sea-Doo RXT X AS 260

This intake/exhaust valve spring retainer is a direct-fit valvetrain component for the Sea-Doo RXT X AS 260 1503, keeping valve springs correctly seated at high RPM so the engine holds compression and revs cleanly.

Overview

This valve spring retainer is built for the Sea-Doo RXT X AS 260 1503 four-stroke engine and serves as the locking collar that holds the valve spring in place on the valve stem. It keeps spring tension stable through the full RPM range, protecting against valve float and the valve-to-piston contact that can follow. It suits riders and shops servicing or rebuilding the top end of a 2011 to 2016 RXT X AS 260.

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Can I reuse my old retainers during a rebuild? A: Retainers wear at the valve stem contact point and should be replaced whenever springs are serviced. New retainers restore correct spring height and reduce the risk of valve float.

Q: How many retainers do I need for a full head? A: Order one retainer per valve, counting both intake and exhaust. Confirm the total valve count for your engine before ordering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
