Description
What is the function of lifters in an engine?
Lifters are critical components that transfer camshaft lobe motion to the valvetrain, ensuring precise valve actuation for optimal engine operation.
Do I need to replace my lifters during a camshaft upgrade?
Replacing lifters during a camshaft upgrade is strongly recommended for ensuring consistent valve train performance and preventing premature wear on new components.
COMP Cams CCA Lifter Sets are engineered for demanding applications, achieving a top score of 9 for overall engine performance. Featuring advanced Hyd Roller Lifter technology, these components ensure consistent valve train operation and reliable power delivery. Trust COMP Cams for superior valvetrain precision and unparalleled engine responsiveness.
What Owners Say
Enthusiasts remain divided on COMP Cams lifters, with experiences varying significantly based on setup and application. The hydraulic roller 850-16 lifters earn consistent praise for reliability, while some owners report excellent longevity with proper configuration—one running 30,000 miles quietly on XFI/X-ER lobes. LS7 lifters are frequently cited as the quietest option when paired with appropriate spring rates. However, noise complaints surface regularly, particularly with retrofit applications where some builders report persistent ticking even during normal operation. Engine builders acknowledge mixed results, with performance heavily dependent on matching lifters to cam profiles and valve spring specs. When properly spec'd and installed, COMP lifters maintain a solid reputation among the engine building community.
