COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 252XFI H-13

This is the COMP Cams CS 252XFI H-13 camshaft kit, a complete package designed to give your Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engine a significant boost in torque and throttle response. It’s a popular choice for carbureted or crossfire setups, offering a strong performance upgrade for a wide range of classic American vehicles. If you're looking to rebuild the top end of your engine and want a noticeable improvement in low-end power, this kit is a solid option.

What sets this kit apart is that it's a comprehensive K-Kit, meaning it includes everything you need for a proper installation. You get the XFI 208/217 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft itself, along with a full set of lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. To ensure correct timing, a timing chain set is also included, and for flat tappet applications, you'll find assembly lube in the box. This all-in-one approach helps simplify the installation process and ensures all components are designed to work together harmoniously.

This kit is specifically for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, covering displacements from 262 up to 400 cubic inches. It's important to note that this kit is designed for engines with flat tappet camshafts and will not fit factory roller camshaft Small Blocks from 1985 and newer, nor will it fit any LS-based engines. If you're unsure about your engine's configuration, checking the intake or timing cover area is the best way to confirm whether you have a flat tappet or roller setup. For those with a 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engine, a specific oiling groove on the 5th cam journal is required, and COMP Cams can provide more information on this.
