Valve Spring - Beehive Spring - 347 lb/in Spring Rate - 1.115 in Coil Bind - 1.065 in / 1.240 in OD - Set of 16

Engine Valve Spring

With a .525" maximum lift, these Beehive Valve Springs were designed for hydraulic or Solid flat tappet as well as hydraulic Roller cams. They work in most Small Block Chevy heads with no machining. COMP Cams Beehive Valve Springs deliver increased valve train stability and a much lighter valve train. This is achieved with less spring pressure for better valve control and reduced weight of both the spring and retainer. The unique Beehive shape handles valve train stress more efficiently to eliminate damaging harmonics and increases high RPM horsepower and durability. The oval/multi-arc wire shape places the maximum area of the wire at the point of highest stress to handle valve train stress more efficiently and allow better heat dissipation for longer life. Because of the unique Beehive design, the valve train can handle more RPM and more aggressive Camshaft profiles.

*Performance Street*
COMP Cams Performance Street Valve Springs provide extra stability and endurance. These are the most popular COMP springs for street applications and are used primarily by customers with performance hydraulic flat tappet & hydraulic rollers in mind. COMP technicians will match the proper spring for each customer's given lift and install height requirements.

*Race/Street*
Race/Street Valve Springs provide extra stability and endurance for most race/street applications. These springs are used by the street customer who has chosen a larger lift cam with race being the primary focus, along with limited street use. COMP technicians will match the proper spring for the customer exploring more race than street driving for larger hydraulic,
hydraulic rollers and some solid flat tappet profiles, given lift and install height requirements.

Reference Information

Valve Springs, Single, 1.240 in. Outside Diameter, 347 lbs./in. Rate, 1.115 in. Coil Bind Height, Set of 16

Valve springs are one of the most critical and overlooked components in your engine. They must be matched to your cam in order for the engine to reach its full potential. It does absolutely no good to install a cam that will perform up to 8,000 rpm if you do not have the correct springs. Use the only valve springs that will give the recommended spring pressure with the valve both on the seat and at maximum lift. COMP Cams valve springs are offered in single and dual styles to meet your cam requirements.
