COMP Cams Cam Retaining Race Pack 3-BOL

If you're working on a GM LS engine, especially one that's been retro-fitted with a distributor or sees hard use like racing, you'll want to pay attention to camshaft thrust. This kit from COMP Cams addresses that by providing an improved camshaft retaining plate and a locking plate for the camshaft bolts.

The heart of this kit is the camshaft retaining plate, made from a high-strength aluminum bronze alloy. Unlike stock cast iron plates, this material offers better friction characteristics. It's precision-machined to tight tolerances and features a CNC-machined O-ring seal to ensure a positive oil seal. The kit also includes a camshaft bolt locking plate with bendable tabs. These tabs are designed to prevent the camshaft bolts from backing out, a crucial step for engine longevity, particularly in applications where the camshaft experiences added thrust from a distributor setup.

This kit is designed to fit a wide range of GM LS engines with a three-bolt camshaft configuration, including those found in vehicles like the Chevrolet Camaro, Cadillac CTS, and GMC Yukon. It's a well-built component that helps ensure your camshaft stays properly positioned and secured.
