SBC Cam & Lifter Kit 287TH

The SBC Cam & Lifter Kit 287TH by COMP CAMS is a complete valve train upgrade designed for small-block Chevrolet engines seeking improved performance and reliability. Built for enthusiasts and professional builders who demand precision engineering, this kit eliminates the guesswork of sourcing individual components by pairing a carefully calibrated camshaft with matched hydraulic lifters. Whether you're building a street cruiser, weekend warrior, or preparing for increased boost or displacement, the 287TH provides the foundation for consistent power delivery across a wide RPM band.

COMP CAMS engineered the 287TH with a moderate lift and duration profile that balances street manners with respectable performance gains, making it versatile for both naturally aspirated and forced-induction applications. The hydraulic lifter design ensures automatic valve clearance maintenance, eliminating the need for constant lash adjustments while reducing valve train noise and wear. Precision-ground lobes and durable nodular iron construction on the camshaft, combined with pre-sized lifters, guarantee proper fit and reduced break-in time. The kit's engineering minimizes valve float at elevated RPMs while maintaining reliability in daily-driven vehicles.

This cam and lifter set is ideal for small-block Chevrolet platforms including 350, 327, 305, and 302 cubic-inch engines using standard small-block bellhousings and valve covers. Installation requires basic engine building knowledge, proper valve cover removal, and standard pushrods compatible with your block and head combination. The 287TH works seamlessly with factory or aftermarket intake manifolds, heads, and carburetors, making it a practical upgrade path for restorers and performance builders alike. Proper camshaft break-in procedure with quality engine oil and appropriate RPM control during the first run ensures longevity and maximum benefit.
