ABSTRACT:
A retainer for a retaining valve lifters in an internal combustion engine. The retainer has a plurality of valve lifter receiving sockets spaced along the length thereof for receiving the lifters. To secure the retainer in the engine, a resilient biasing element is attached to the retainer body such that when the cylinder head is mounted to the cylinder block, the resilient biasing element is flexed, thereby applying a normal force on the retainer to secure the retainer between the cylinder block and the cylinder head.
