COMP Cams Camshaft Kit OL 270H

This COMP Cams Magnum 224 Hydraulic Flat Cam K-Kit, part number K42-308-4, starts with a camshaft featuring 224 degrees of intake and exhaust duration. This specific grind is designed to offer a noticeable performance improvement over stock, while still being manageable with a stock or mild torque converter. It's a popular choice for Oldsmobile 260 through 455 cubic inch V8 engines, fitting a wide range of vehicles from 1967 and up, including models like the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Buick Electra, and Chevrolet Caprice.

When you choose this K-Kit, you're getting a complete package to handle the camshaft upgrade. It includes the camshaft itself, lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, valve stem seals, and a timing chain set. For flat tappet applications, assembly lube is also included, along with decals and instructions to guide you through the installation. This kit is intended to provide a mild rough idle, a characteristic often sought after by those looking for a more aggressive sound and feel from their engine.

To get the most out of this camshaft, especially in smaller displacement engines, consider pairing it with lower gears in your rear differential and a good set of headers. While it offers improved performance, it's important to note that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. This is a comprehensive solution for Oldsmobile V8 owners looking to enhance their engine's power and character.
