COMP Cams Lifter Sportsman CS 0.842 Center / Center Bushed

When you're building a performance engine, the lifters are a critical component that needs to handle serious stress. This set from COMP Cams includes 16 Sportsman Solid Roller Lifters, each featuring a .842" diameter and a center-to-center bushing design. These lifters are built from strong 8620 steel, offering increased wear resistance for demanding applications. They are designed as a lighter weight upgrade over some other performance lifters and a value alternative to their top-tier race options.

What sets these lifters apart is their advanced oiling system. Each lifter has two pressurized EDM oil feeds directly to the axle, plus an edge orifice feed to the wheel, ensuring a more reliable oil supply than many other designs. They also feature a shallower oil band compared to competitors, which increases strength and rigidity. Internally, machining helps reduce weight, and the skirted wheel design strengthens the lifter ears while providing more contact area with the lifter bore for better stability. To ensure the axle stays put under high loads, these lifters use staked axles instead of clips, which also adds stiffness to the lifter ears and prevents them from spreading.

These lifters have a tall body design, making them suitable for both standard and .300" tall lifter bores. This versatility helps reduce wear on the lifter bore itself. The captured link bar design, with a tapered and slotted link bar tower, further reduces weight and adds to the overall improved aesthetics. This set is a solid option for Chevrolet Small Block engines, providing the strength and oiling needed for performance builds.
