Reduced ratio rockers lessen spring pressure and lower lift for proper camshaft break-in

January 2008 -- Proper break-in of high lift flat tappet camshafts in performance engines is often achieved by removal of the inner valve springs during the initial-start up period. This critical procedure can often be a time consuming and difficult process. To ease this process, COMP Cams® introduces Big Block Chevrolet Aluminum Break-In Rocker Arms that feature a reduced 1.5:1 ratio as opposed to the factory 1.7:1 ratio.

With this reduced ratio, the effective camshaft lift and valve spring pressure are reduced for easier camshaft break-in.

Two new camshaft sets, one for increased torque and the other for maximized top end hp, deliver up to 25 rear wheel horsepower without changing valve springs

Jan. 2008 -- Anyone who has faced the challenge of changing valve springs in today’s Ford 4.6L/5.4L Modular 3 Valve engines knows the difficulty involved. Not only does the swap to aftermarket valve springs require the proper tools and mechanical skills, but also additional time and money.
