COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 286H-R10

This is the COMP Cams Magnum 230/230 Hydraulic Roller Cam K-Kit, part number K12-450-8, designed for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines. It's a popular choice for street machines looking to significantly improve performance, especially when paired with headers and an aftermarket intake manifold. Be aware that this camshaft will produce a rough idle and limited vacuum, so it's best suited for applications with a 2500+ stall torque converter.

This complete kit takes the guesswork out of upgrading your camshaft. It includes everything you need for a comprehensive valvetrain overhaul: the hydraulic roller camshaft itself, high-performance lifters, matching valve springs, retainers, valve locks, valve stem seals, a new timing chain set, and assembly lube for flat tappet applications. COMP Cams is well-known for its performance valvetrain components, and this kit reflects that expertise, offering a solid path to increased power and torque for your classic Chevy V8.

It's important to verify your specific engine block's configuration before installation. This kit is designed for factory flat tappet blocks or blocks that have been converted to roller setups. It does not fit factory roller Small Blocks built from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit any LS-based engines. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, a specific oiling groove on the 5th cam journal is required. Always refer to the included instructions for proper installation procedures.
