What is the main benefit of this camshaft for my Ford Ranger?

This COMP Cams camshaft is designed to improve your engine's power output in the low to mid RPM range. It also aims to provide a smoother idle, making it a practical upgrade for daily driving and general use.

Does this camshaft come with everything needed for installation?

This listing is for the camshaft itself. You will need to ensure you have new lifters, valve springs, and retainers that are compatible with a solid lifter camshaft, as well as the necessary tools for installation and valve lash adjustment.

What is the difference between a solid and hydraulic camshaft?

A solid (or mechanical) camshaft, like this one, uses solid lifters and requires periodic adjustment of valve lash for optimal performance and longevity. Hydraulic camshafts use hydraulic lifters that self-adjust, offering a quieter and maintenance-free operation but often with less aggressive performance potential.

Product Details

This COMP Cams F6OHV 252S-10 camshaft is a solid flat tappet design, featuring 210 degrees of intake and 210 degrees of exhaust duration. It's built for Ford's 2.8L OHV 6-cylinder engines found in the 1983-1985 Ford Ranger and 1984-1985 Ford Bronco II. This camshaft is designed to offer a good balance between performance and economy, focusing on increasing power in the low to mid RPM range where you'll use it most for daily driving and general hauling.

You can expect a smoother idle compared to more aggressive camshafts, making it a practical choice for everyday use. The solid lifter design means it requires proper valve lash adjustment during installation, a common practice for this type of performance camshaft. It's a well-built component aimed at giving your truck a noticeable boost in responsiveness without sacrificing drivability.

Keep in mind that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For installation, ensure you follow the manufacturer's recommended valve lash settings to get the most out of this camshaft and maintain its smooth idle characteristics.
