COMP Cams Valve Springs 1.185in Beehive

This kit from COMP Cams includes sixteen Beehive valve springs, designed to give your engine's valve train better stability and reduce overall weight. The unique Beehive shape is key here; it handles stress more efficiently than traditional springs, which helps eliminate damaging harmonics and allows your engine to rev higher and more reliably. You'll notice improved valve control because the springs require less pressure to do their job, and the reduced weight of both the springs and their accompanying retainers further contributes to a lighter, more responsive valve train. This design also helps with heat dissipation, leading to longer life for your components.

The oval/multi-arc wire shape is a smart detail, placing the strongest part of the wire where it experiences the most stress. This advanced design allows the valve train to handle more aggressive camshaft profiles and higher RPMs, making it a solid option for performance builds. The springs themselves have a top outer diameter of 1.185 inches and a bottom outer diameter of 1.454 inches, with a spring rate of 400 lbs/in. They are designed for an installed height of 1.800 inches, with a seat load of 160 lbs and an open load of 420 lbs at 1.150 inches.
