COMP Cams Lash Caps 5/16in For Hemi

If you're working on a 426 Hemi engine, these lash caps from COMP Cams are a necessary part for your valve train. They fit engines with 5/16 inch valve stems and have a .190 inch head height. This set includes 8 caps, enough for one engine.

These lash caps sit on top of your valve stems, right where the rocker arm makes contact. Their main job is to prevent wear on both the valve stem tip and the rocker arm itself. Over time, the constant impact can wear down the valve stem, which can lead to issues with valve sealing and even affect valve train geometry. By adding these well-built caps, you're adding a sacrificial layer that takes the brunt of the force, preserving the integrity of your original valve stems and rocker arms.

When you're rebuilding a Hemi, attention to detail in the valve train is key to getting the most out of the engine. These caps are a simple but important addition to ensure longevity and proper function.
