Sbc Cam&Lifter Kit 252H (Hyd Lifter #812-16)

The COMP CAMS Camshaft and Lifter Kit 252H with Hydraulic Lifter #812-16 is a complete valve train solution engineered for Small Block Chevy engines seeking moderate-lift, street-friendly performance. This kit pairs a high-energy hydraulic flat-tappet camshaft with matched hydraulic lifters, delivering consistent valve actuation across a broad RPM band without the complexity of adjustable components.

The 252-degree duration on both intake and exhaust lobes, combined with 0.425-inch lift and a 110-degree lobe separation angle, creates a flat power curve optimized between 800 and 4800 RPM. This specification profile suits engines built for cruise-and-drive reliability rather than peak horsepower competition. The hydraulic lifter design automatically compensates for wear and thermal expansion, eliminating the need for manual valve lash adjustment—a significant advantage for street engines and weekend drivers who value simplicity and low maintenance.

This camshaft and lifter kit targets Small Block Chevy builders prioritizing drivability, longevity, and ease of installation. The hydraulic design works seamlessly with stock-style rocker arms and conventional pushrod configurations, making it an ideal upgrade path for classic restorations, muscle car revivals, and performance street engines that won't see sustained high-RPM use. Matched cam-and-lifter kits simplify the selection process and ensure optimal compatibility between components.
