Hi-Tech 1.560 Dia. Dual Valve Springs- W/Damper

The COMP CAMS Hi-Tech 1.560 Dia. Dual Valve Springs with Damper (part number 26953-16) represent a precision valve spring assembly engineered for high-performance and competition engine builds. This dual valve spring set combines a stiffened outer spring with an inner damper spring, designed to control valve train harmonics and maintain consistent lift across the full RPM spectrum. The 500 lb/in spring rate delivers the response needed for aggressive camshaft profiles while the 1.130-inch coil bind specification ensures adequate preload margin without over-constraining the valve seat.

The 1.560-inch outer diameter accommodates standard cylinder head bores while the damper spring absorbs surge and float that occurs at peak operating RPM. This assembly prevents valve float—a critical failure mode in high-lift applications—by limiting uncontrolled spring oscillation. COMP CAMS valve springs are manufactured to exacting tolerances and tested for load consistency across the set, ensuring even valve actuation and reduced wear on valve guides and seats. The dual-spring design also reduces overall installed height compared to single-spring alternatives, offering flexibility in combustion chamber geometry and pushrod or rocker arm clearance.

This 16-piece set is suited for engine builders, race shops, and enthusiasts developing small-block or mid-displacement engines with elevated valve spring requirements. Whether rebuilding a naturally aspirated stroker, transitioning to a performance camshaft, or preparing an engine for sustained track duty, proper valve spring selection is fundamental to reliability and power delivery. COMP CAMS dual valve springs with dampers have established themselves in competition circles where valve train stability directly affects lap times and engine longevity.
