Product Details

The COMP Cams K01-421-8 XE series hydraulic roller camshaft K-Kit is engineered specifically for Chevrolet Big Block Gen VI engines, delivering improved performance across the RPM range. This complete K-Kit includes everything needed for a professional camshaft installation in a single package.

Kit Includes:

  • XE 236/242 hydraulic roller camshaft with optimized lobe profiles
  • Hydraulic roller lifters designed for reduced friction and increased durability
  • High-performance valve springs with proper seat pressure and coil bind clearance
  • Precision-machined steel retainers
  • Valve locks (keepers) for secure valve train retention
  • Valve stem seals to prevent oil consumption
  • Timing chain set for accurate camshaft timing
  • Assembly lube to ensure proper break-in protection
  • Installation instructions and COMP Cams decals

Performance Characteristics:

The XE 236/242 grind features 236° intake duration and 242° exhaust duration, providing a broad powerband with excellent low-end torque and strong mid-range performance. The hydraulic roller design offers the convenience of maintenance-free operation while delivering performance that rivals flat tappet racing camshafts. This profile is ideal for street/strip applications, muscle car restorations, and performance builds that demand reliability without sacrificing power.

Application Notes:

Designed specifically for Chevrolet Big Block Gen VI engines. The complete K-Kit format eliminates guesswork by providing all valvetrain components matched and tested together by COMP Cams engineers. This ensures proper compatibility and optimal performance while simplifying the ordering process.

I paid for 2nd day shipping and 5 days later they were shipped out. So, I should receive my rotors in a full week from when I paid for 2 day shipping. I called customer service and they discounted the shipping rate to ground service. At least they were polite and helpful in the phone.

Easy order placement, fast shipment
