COMP Cams Valve Springs 1.589in Beehive

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance engine parts, and these Beehive Valve Springs are a prime example of their focus on improving valve train function. If you're building a high-performance street or track engine, especially one using a high-lift solid flat tappet or hydraulic roller camshaft, these springs are designed to give you the stability you need. They are even used in Harley Davidson engines, which tells you something about their robust design.

What makes these Beehive springs special is their unique shape. This design allows them to handle valve train stress more efficiently, which helps eliminate damaging harmonics and can increase durability at high RPMs. The oval/multi-arc wire shape is key here; it puts the strongest part of the wire right where the stress is highest. This not only helps manage stress but also aids in heat dissipation, leading to a longer service life. Because they handle stress better and dissipate heat more effectively, the valve train can handle higher RPMs and more aggressive camshaft profiles. Plus, the lighter weight of the spring and retainer means less overall valve train mass, which contributes to better valve control even with less spring pressure.

This kit includes 16 springs, enough for a V8 engine. The springs have a 1.589-inch outer diameter and are designed for a 2.000-inch installed height. They are rated for a maximum lift of .750 inches, making them suitable for cams with significant lift. If you're looking to increase your engine's RPM capability and ensure reliable valve train operation under demanding conditions, these COMP Cams Beehive springs are a solid choice.
