COMP Cams Spring Shims .060 X 1.250 - 4748-16: Precision Engineered for Optimal Valve Spring Performance

The COMP Cams Spring Shims .060 X 1.250 - 4748-16 are essential components designed to enhance the performance and longevity of your engine’s valve springs. Crafted with precision and durability in mind, these shims provide the perfect solution for adjusting valve spring heights and pressures, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and efficiently under all conditions.

Whether you’re a professional mechanic, a dedicated racer, or a passionate automotive enthusiast, these spring shims offer a reliable way to fine-tune your valve train setup. By allowing precise adjustments, they help maintain the ideal spring tension, which is critical for preventing valve float, reducing wear, and improving overall engine responsiveness.

Features and Benefits

• Exact Thickness of .060 Inches: Provides consistent and precise spacing to achieve the perfect valve spring height, ensuring optimal spring pressure and performance.
• 1.250-Inch Diameter: Designed to fit a wide range of valve springs, making it versatile for various engine builds and applications.
• High-Quality Material: Manufactured from durable, heat-resistant steel that withstands the extreme conditions inside the engine, offering long-lasting reliability.
• Easy Installation: Simple to install and remove, allowing quick adjustments during engine assembly or maintenance without the need for specialized tools.
• Improves Valve Train Stability: Helps maintain consistent spring pressure, reducing the risk of valve float and enhancing engine efficiency at high RPMs.
• Enhances Engine Longevity: By ensuring proper spring tension, these shims reduce wear on valve components, extending the life of your engine parts.

Understanding the role of spring shims is straightforward. They act as spacers placed between the valve spring and the retainer, allowing you to adjust the spring’s installed height. This adjustment directly influences the spring’s pressure on the valve, which is crucial for maintaining precise valve timing and preventing mechanical issues during engine operation.

Using the COMP Cams Spring Shims means you can tailor your valve spring setup to match your specific engine requirements. For example, if you’re upgrading to a higher-performance camshaft or running your engine at higher RPMs, these shims help you increase spring pressure to avoid valve float—a condition where the valve fails to follow the camshaft’s motion accurately, leading to power loss and potential engine damage.

Moreover, these shims are engineered to resist deformation and corrosion, ensuring they maintain their thickness and shape even after prolonged exposure to heat and stress. This durability translates to consistent performance and fewer adjustments over time, saving you both effort and money.

In practical terms, installing the COMP Cams Spring Shims .060 X 1.250 - 4748-16 means you gain greater control over your engine’s valve train dynamics. This control results in smoother engine operation, improved throttle response, and enhanced power delivery. Whether you’re tuning a street car or building a race engine, these shims provide the precision and reliability needed to get the most out of your valve springs.

Invest in COMP Cams Spring Shims today and experience the difference that precise valve spring adjustment can make. With their superior quality and thoughtful design, these shims are a smart addition to any engine builder’s toolkit, helping you achieve peak performance and durability with confidence.
