The COMP Cams Beehive Valve Spring Set (26911-12) features a unique ovate wire shape and a "beehive" (tapered) design. This shape allows the spring to dissipate heat more effectively and reduces the weight of the top coil. By using a smaller, lighter retainer, these springs help control valve float at higher RPMs, making them a top choice for performance street and mild race builds.
- Increased RPM Potential: The tapered design reduces the reciprocating weight of the valve train, allowing the engine to rev higher and more safely.
- Superior Heat Dissipation: The ovate wire profile distributes stress more evenly across the spring, which extends the service life and prevents spring fatigue.
- Improved Valve Control: By reducing "spring surge" (harmonics), these springs ensure the valves follow the camshaft profile accurately, even under high-load conditions.
- No Machining Required: In many applications, these springs are designed to fit into the stock spring seats, simplifying the installation process.
