Sbc Cam&Lifter Kit 280H (Hyd Lifter #812-16)

The SBC Cam & Lifter Kit 280H (Hyd Lifter #812-16) from COMP Cams is a complete hydraulic roller cam and lifter assembly designed for small-block Chevrolet engines seeking reliable, bolt-on performance. This kit is ideal for builders and mechanics involved in street, bracket racing, and restoration projects where high-quality valve train components are essential.

The 280H designation indicates a mid-range hydraulic lifter profile engineered to balance rpm range and street drivability without sacrificing performance characteristics. Hydraulic lifters automatically adjust for valve lash clearance, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and reducing valve train noise—a significant advantage over solid lifter alternatives in street applications. COMP Cams' matched lifter set (#812-16) pairs precisely with this cam grind to ensure consistent valve events across all cylinders.

This kit's pre-matched design helps avoid the common failure mode of mixing incompatible cam and lifter profiles, which can lead to premature wear and loss of intended performance characteristics. Installation is suitable for small-block Chevrolet engines across multiple generations, making it a versatile choice for both classic muscle cars and modern crate engines.
