What is the benefit of the conical spring design?

The conical design has a smaller diameter in the upper half, which reduces the spring's active mass. This, along with the progressive frequency, helps to dampen coil oscillations better than traditional spring designs. This allows for more aggressive camshafts and higher RPM limits.

What is Superfinish processing?

Superfinish processing is a surface treatment applied to the springs that increases their durability and extends their overall service life. This helps the springs withstand the demands of high-performance engine operation.

About this part

Product Details

The .675" lift conical valve springs in this kit feature a smaller diameter in the upper half. This design choice reduces the active mass of the spring, which helps to dampen coil oscillations more effectively than traditional designs. The progressive frequency created by the conical shape also contributes to better damping. These improvements mean you can run more aggressive camshafts and push your engine to higher RPM limits with confidence.

This kit includes everything you need for a complete installation: 16 conical valve springs, 16 +.100 tool steel retainers, 16 valve locks, 16 valve seals, and 16 spring seats. The tool steel retainers are built for strength and durability, handling the increased forces from aggressive valvetrain setups. COMP Cams also uses Superfinish processing on the springs themselves, which is a surface treatment that increases durability and extends the overall life of the springs.

This kit is designed for GM LS1, LS2, and LS3 engines, including common displacements like 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L, 6.0L, and 6.2L. If you're building a high-performance LS engine and need a valvetrain that can keep up with a more aggressive camshaft profile and higher redline, this kit offers a well-built solution.
