There are certain words that make the heart rate of hot rodders speed up and two of them are tool steel. Parts and components that utilize the strong and durable grade of steel are designed to be used in hardcore environments where other pieces may not survive. Tool steel’s hardness, resistance to deformation and abrasion make it a perfect material for the pushrod seat in these lifters.
Outside of the components, materials, and construction that bring these parts up to the very high standards of COMP Cams, there’s the design of these short travel lifters that engine builders will like. The short travel lifters give a dedicated solution for applications that were happier with either light pre-load to compensate for bad harmonics or a heavier preload to prevent oil volume build up under the lifter plunger. These short travel lifters allow for both of those situations to be specifically addressed. No more compromise, a real solution!
COMP Cams® Short Travel XD Hydraulic Roller Lifters Offer Unmatched Strength & Durability
Memphis, TN – Thanks to a variety of design enhancements, new COMP Cams® Short Travel XD Hydraulic Roller Lifters provide robust toughness.
Certain engines respond better to a light lifter pre-load because it recovers more quickly from any bad harmonics in the valve train. Others work better with a heavy pre-load because oil volume is reduced under the plunger, which increases lifter stiffness. COMP Cams® Short Travel Hydraulic Roller Lifters let you have the advantages of both light pre-load and reduced oil volume, producing the most stable and highest-revving hydraulic lifter available. COMP® now offers an XD version of these lifters that features a heavy-duty tool steel pushrod seat. This adds strength and durability in Xtreme Duty applications such as turbo drag cars and offshore powerboats. The lifters are available for a variety of Chevrolet, GM LS and Chrysler engines.
