COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 246PEH

When you're ready to dig into the heart of your Chevrolet Small Block engine, this COMP Cams K-Kit is designed to give you everything you need for a comprehensive camshaft upgrade. What you get in this box is a complete package: the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, valve stem seals, and a new timing chain set. It also includes assembly lube and decals to help with the installation process. This kit is intended for Chevrolet Small Block engines displacing 262 to 400 cubic inches, covering a wide range of popular V8s like the 283, 327, 350, and 400. It's a 50-state legal performance upgrade specifically for 1987 and earlier carbureted V8 Small Block Chevys.

This kit is built around the Pure Energy 246H hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, offering an improved performance profile for engines that came with a flat tappet setup from the factory. It's important to verify your engine's configuration, as GM began phasing in roller camshafts in the mid-80s. While many performance models and trucks received roller cams earlier, some applications, particularly in trucks and SUVs, continued with flat tappet cams well into the 90s. A quick check by removing the intake manifold or timing cover will confirm if your block is designed for a roller or flat tappet camshaft. This kit is not compatible with LT1/LT4 engines or any LS-based V8s.

This COMP Cams kit is a solid option for those looking to enhance their carbureted Small Block Chevy. It fits a broad spectrum of vehicles, including many Chevrolet C-series trucks, El Caminos, Camaros, and Corvettes from the 1980s and early 1990s, as well as models from AM General, Avanti, Buick, Cadillac, and Checker. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, ensure the 5th cam journal has an oiling groove; if not, contact us for specific details.
