COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit CS XE 249H-1

This COMP Cams kit gives you a new camshaft and lifters, along with assembly lube, decals, and instructions to get your engine running right. It's designed for Chevrolet Small Block engines, specifically the GEN 1 versions like the 262, 283, 305, 350, and 400 cubic inch displacements. This kit is a solid option for carbureted or throttle body injected engines, and can even work well in 305 TPI applications.

The XE Computer Controlled camshaft profile is engineered to offer improved performance, especially in applications where the factory computer is still in place or for those looking for a noticeable bump in power over stock. It's a hydraulic flat tappet design, meaning it uses traditional lifters and requires proper break-in procedures. COMP Cams is a well-known name in performance engine parts, and this kit reflects their focus on delivering reliable upgrades for enthusiasts.

It's important to note that this kit is for flat tappet engines. If your 1985 or newer GM small block came with a factory roller camshaft, this kit will not be compatible. You'll need to check your engine's intake manifold or timing cover to confirm if it's a flat tappet or roller block. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, a specific oiling groove on the 5th cam journal is required.
