COMP Cams Camshaft Kit OL XE268H-10

This COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft kit is built around an XE268H hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, featuring 224 degrees of intake duration and 230 degrees of exhaust duration. This specific grind is well-suited for street machines looking for a noticeable bump in performance, often paired with a torque converter stall speed of 1800 RPM or higher to take full advantage of its powerband. It's designed to give your Oldsmobile V8 engine a slightly rougher idle, which is a common characteristic of performance cams that move more air.

This is a complete K-Kit, meaning it bundles all the essential components you'll need for a comprehensive engine upgrade. Inside the box, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. It also includes a timing chain set to ensure your valvetrain stays synchronized, plus assembly lube specifically for flat tappet applications. You'll also get decals and instructions to help guide you through the installation process. This kit is designed to fit a wide range of Oldsmobile V8 engines from 1967 and later, including popular models like the Cutlass Supreme, Delta 88, and 442, as well as many Buick and Chevrolet vehicles from the same era.

When undertaking an engine build or rebuild, especially one aiming for improved performance, using a matched set of components like those found in this kit is crucial. It ensures that the camshaft, lifters, and valve springs work together harmoniously, maximizing efficiency and reliability. This kit is a solid option for enthusiasts looking to extract more power from their classic V8, offering a significant step up from stock specifications.
