With advancements in valve train technology, engine builders and performance enthusiasts are witnessing more aggressive cam profiles, higher valve spring pressures, and higher engine rpm.
Hydraulic lifters often get caught in the middle of these competitive valve train innovations.
That’s why the engineers at COMP Cams developed the Short Travel Race Hydraulic Roller Lifters using a design that maximizes the performance of hydraulic roller lifters at higher engine speeds.
In performance engines, higher rpm are often limited by the incorrect positioning of the lifter’s internal piston, which inevitably “pumps up” during the engine cycle.
This improper location results in open valves and leads to lost horsepower and sometimes even engine failure.
The COMP Cams Short Travel Race Hydraulic Roller Lifters feature a patent pending design that minimizes internal piston movement to cut down on the open valve issues and allow higher engine rpm, thus increasing horsepower.
The surface of these lifters has been black oxided to significantly reduce surface friction, wear, and lubrication temperatures.
This creates a high performance, high quality component.
