COMP Cams 995-16 Dual Valve Spring

Description

Product Overview

The COMP Cams 995-16 dual valve spring is engineered for enthusiasts and professional racers who demand precise valve control and durability under the most demanding conditions. Featuring a seat pressure of 115 pounds at 1.700 inches and an open pressure of 336 pounds at 1.150 inches, this spring delivers the force needed to keep valves seated securely while allowing rapid opening for high‑rpm power. Constructed from high‑grade machined steel, the spring offers an outer diameter of 1.437 inches and an inner diameter of 0.697 inches, providing a robust yet compact profile that fits a wide range of engine configurations. The dual‑spring design incorporates an internal damper, a feature that mitigates valve bounce and reduces wear on camshaft lobes, extending the life of both the spring and the engine. Weighing just 3.88 pounds and measuring 13.5 x 3.7 x 2.9 inches, the unit is lightweight enough for easy installation yet solid enough to withstand the stresses of aggressive driving. Whether you are rebuilding a classic muscle car, upgrading a modern performance engine, or seeking a reliable replacement for a worn‑out spring, the 995-16 offers the balance of strength, precision, and longevity that high‑performance applications require.

Usage

This dual valve spring is suited for a variety of high‑performance scenarios, from street‑legal hot rods to track‑day race cars. Its high seat and open pressures make it ideal for engines that operate at elevated RPM ranges, where valve float can become a limiting factor. Installers will find the spring compatible with many aftermarket camshafts that call for increased valve spring rates, especially in applications where aggressive cam profiles demand additional support. The spring’s compact dimensions allow it to fit within tight engine bays without requiring extensive modifications, making it a practical upgrade for both seasoned mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. In racing environments, the built‑in damper helps maintain consistent valve timing, reducing the risk of misfires and improving overall engine responsiveness. For daily drivers seeking a performance boost, the spring provides a noticeable improvement in throttle response and engine smoothness, especially during rapid acceleration or high‑speed cruising. Its durability also means fewer replacements over the life of the engine, translating to lower maintenance costs and increased reliability on long trips or endurance events.

FAQ

What engines are compatible with the 995-16 spring?

The 995-16 spring fits a wide range of V8, V6, and inline engines that use standard valve spring dimensions. It is especially suitable for engines equipped with high‑lift camshafts that require increased spring rates to prevent valve float.

How does the built‑in damper improve performance?

The damper absorbs shock and vibration during rapid valve movement, minimizing bounce. This leads to more consistent valve timing, reduced wear on camshaft lobes, and smoother engine operation at high RPMs.

Can I install this spring myself?

Yes, the spring is designed for straightforward installation with common hand tools. However, we recommend following the torque specifications in your engine’s service manual and using a proper valve spring compressor to ensure safety.

What warranty does COMP Cams provide for this product?

COMP Cams offers a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects for the life of the product. If you encounter any issues, contact our support team for assistance and a replacement if warranted.

Is the spring coated for corrosion resistance?

Yes, each spring receives a protective coating that resists rust and corrosion, making it suitable for use in environments with high humidity, road salt, or marine exposure.
