What is the installed height for these valve springs?

These COMP Cams Beehive Valve Springs have an installed height of 1.800 inches. This measurement is crucial for ensuring the correct seat load and open load for optimal valve train performance.

What is the difference between Beehive springs and traditional dual springs?

Beehive springs, like these from COMP Cams, are designed with a unique shape that allows them to use less spring pressure and have a lighter retainer compared to traditional dual springs. This reduces valve train weight and stress, leading to improved stability and durability.

Do these springs come with retainers?

This part number (26918-16) includes 16 springs. While the manufacturer lists compatible titanium and steel retainers separately (part numbers 762, 772, 788 for titanium and 761, 774, 783, 787, 795 for steel), they are not included with the springs themselves.

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your LS-based engine, especially with a hydraulic roller camshaft, these COMP Cams Beehive Valve Springs are a solid choice. They're designed to handle up to .625" of valve lift, offering a significant improvement in valve train stability. This means your engine can handle higher RPMs more reliably, which translates directly into more power and better durability, particularly when you're pushing the engine hard.

What's really neat about the Beehive design is how it reduces the overall weight of the valve train. By using less spring pressure than traditional dual springs for the same lift capability, and by having a lighter retainer, the entire system is less stressed. This not only helps with heat dissipation for longer life, thanks to the unique oval/multi-arc wire shape that puts the strongest part of the wire where it's needed most, but it also helps eliminate damaging harmonics. This means a smoother-running engine at high RPMs and the ability to run more aggressive camshaft profiles.

These springs are a popular upgrade for a wide range of performance street applications, including models like the Chevrolet Corvette, Camaro, and Pontiac Firebird. They are well-built and designed to work with specific hydraulic roller cams, helping you unlock more performance and durability from your engine.
