What is the main benefit of using roller lifters over flat tappet lifters?

Roller lifters significantly reduce friction in the valvetrain compared to flat tappet designs. This leads to less wear on the camshaft lobes and allows for more consistent valve operation, especially at higher engine speeds.

Are these lifters sold individually or as a set?

These COMP Cams CS Super Roller Lifters are sold as a set. Typically, a set will include enough lifters for one bank of a V8 engine. You will need to order two sets for a complete V8 engine.

What type of oil is recommended for these roller lifters?

For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to use a high-quality engine oil with adequate ZDDP content. This is especially important for protecting the camshaft lobes and lifter components from wear.

Product Details

These COMP Cams CS Super Roller Lifters feature a precision-ground, hardened steel body with a roller tip, measuring 0.842 inches in diameter. This design choice is crucial for reducing friction in the valvetrain, allowing for more consistent valve lift and duration, especially at higher RPMs. They are built to handle the demands of performance engine builds where stock lifters might fall short. The roller tip helps to minimize wear on the camshaft lobes, extending the life of both components. These lifters are a solid option for anyone rebuilding or upgrading their engine, aiming for improved reliability and performance.

Designed for a wide range of Chevrolet and Pontiac vehicles from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, including popular models like the Chevrolet S10, Chevrolet C1500, and Pontiac Grand Prix, these lifters are a direct replacement for many stock applications. The roller design offers a notable improvement over flat tappet lifters by reducing friction and heat buildup. This translates to a more efficient engine and can contribute to better overall power delivery. COMP Cams has a reputation for well-built valvetrain components, and these CS Super Roller Lifters are no exception, offering a balance of performance and durability for your engine project.

When installing these lifters, it's important to ensure your camshaft lobes are in good condition and that you follow proper lubrication procedures. Using a high-quality engine oil with adequate ZDDP content is recommended for flat tappet and roller lifter camshafts to protect against wear. These lifters are sold as a set, providing everything needed to replace the lifters on one bank of your V8 engine; ensure you order the correct quantity for your specific engine configuration.
