SBC Cam & Lifter Kit Hyd 265DEH (Lifter #812-16)

The COMP CAMS SBC Cam & Lifter Kit Hyd 265DEH (Lifter #812-16) is a complete hydraulic cam and lifter assembly engineered for small-block Chevrolet engines seeking reliable valve train performance. This kit serves enthusiasts, mechanics, and engine builders who demand factory-quality valve actuation without the complexity of solid roller systems. Designed for street and light performance applications, the 265DEH profile delivers smooth, consistent lift across a broad RPM range while maintaining the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of hydraulic lifter technology.

The hydraulic lifter design automatically compensates for valve train wear and thermal expansion, eliminating the need for frequent valve adjustments. The 265-degree duration cam profile is calibrated to balance low-end torque with mid-range power delivery, making it ideal for engines that prioritize drivability over peak horsepower. COMP CAMS' precision manufacturing ensures consistent lobe geometry and hardened bearing surfaces across all lifters in the kit, reducing parasitic friction and extending component life. The included lifter set (reference #812-16) is specifically matched to this cam profile for optimal valve train geometry and clearance.

This kit is ideal for small-block Chevrolet engine builders upgrading from worn factory camshafts or seeking a proven aftermarket alternative for street-driven vehicles and mild performance builds. Installation requires standard pushrod engine assembly techniques and is compatible with any SBC block utilizing conventional hydraulic lifter galleries. At 13.19 lbs, the complete kit is compact and ships efficiently, making it a practical solution for both professional machine shops and home enthusiasts undertaking engine overhauls or rebuilds.
