Mr. Gasket High Performance Thermostats are designed to resist large variations of coolant pressure at high RPM (revolutions per minute). This allows them to fully open at correct temperature consistently regardless of engine RPM. The design also provides the high flow that engines operated a higher RPM need. This thermostat also features a copper/brass construction to further resist corrosion. Mr. Gasket High Performance / High Flow Thermostats are suitable for street, drag race, or oval track applications.

Product Features:

• Opens At 180 Degrees
• Designed to Resist Large Variations of Coolant Pressure at High RPM
• Fully Opens at Correct Temperature Consistently Regardless of Engine RPM
• For High Performance Street, Drag Race, and Oval Track
• Copper & Brass Construction – Resists Corrosion
• High Flow

These High Energy Die Cast Aluminum Roller Rocker Arms for Chevy V8 265-400 applications are perfect for street and moderate race use. With a 3/8″ stud diameter and 1.5 ratio, the die cast, larger-than-stock body of the rocker arms is made of aluminum for superior strength with light overall weight. High Energy Die Cast Aluminum Roller Rocker Arms from COMP Cams are an affordable option that feature a die cast, aluminum body with a needle bearing fulcrum and roller tip. Designed to be stiffer and more durable, these cost effective rocker arms are capable of providing added valve lift while withstanding the rigors of a performance application. Their specially engineered fulcrum and roller tip create far less friction than sliding factory models to lower oil temperatures, thus improving both response and horsepower. Snap rings are used to hold the trunion and bearings locked in place..

Product Features:

• Cost effective aluminum construction provides superior strength to weight ratio
• Needle bearing fulcrum and roller tip reduce friction and lower oil temperatures for improved response and horsepower
• Durable design increases valve lift while withstanding the rigors of moderate race use
• Die-formed aluminum body is larger than stock, and may require modifications to stock valve covers for clearance.

Featuring a quicker valve opening, the Xtreme Energy camshaft profile provides increased responsiveness and more area under the lift curve than older, slower grinds. Designed to increase performance without sacrificing driveability and creature comforts.

Product Features:

• Excellent performance in street carbureted applications.
• More vacuum allows an increase in duration for improved performance and assists power brakes.
• Quicker opening lobe profiles deliver increased responsiveness and more area under the lift curve.
• Best performance with aftermarket intake manifolds, headers, lower gear ratios etc.

Ideal for use with mainly stock components like rocker arms, intake manifolds, cylinder heads, compression ratio, torque converters and rear gear ratios, the High Energy camshaft grind family is a great choice for street performance applications.

Product Features:

• Good blend of efficiency and performance.
• Perfect choice for performance street rebuilds.
• Work well with mainly stock components such as rockers, manifolds, heads, compression, torque converters and gears.

Fel-Pro Performance Gaskets deliver reliable sealing under grueling racing conditions.

Product Features:

• Fel-Pro Performance head gaskets accommodate the high cylinder pressures and cylinder head movement associated with performance engines.
• Inserted within a stainless steel armor surrounding each cylinder, wire ring design provides highly concentrated sealing around the combustion chamber.
• Raises combustion sealing force to roughly three times that of standard head gaskets.
• Steel wire rings for the greatest combustion seal strength.
• Not intended for use in emission controlled vehicles.

Mr. Gasket Ultra-Seal Head Gaskets are a five layer (graphite core/perforated steel outer layers) composite construction. The graphite core has excellent thermoconductivity (transfers heat) away from hot spots in head preventing gasket burn-out. They provide excellent stability, compressibility and high temperature endurance. A high temperature silicone coating ensures sealing of engine fluids. Compatible with cast iron or aluminum heads, they will not brinell (indent) aluminum cylinder heads. Suitable for high performance street, drag race and oval track use. Sold individually.brbrGasket Bore 4.230 inch, Compressed thickness 0.038 inch

Product Features:

• Five layer (graphite core/perforated steel outer layers) composite construction

VALVE SEALS, O-RING 11/32″ 1 ST

COMP Cams offers a complete line of valve stem seals, from the umbrella seals to the positive-stop Teflon seal. These seals are a must to keep unwanted oil from entering the combustion chamber through the clearance in the valve guides. The umbrella seal is normally used when a larger-than-stock diameter spring is used, in the case of a double spring, the positive-stop Teflon seal is used. The umbrella seals require no machining, but with the Teflon seal it is necessary to disassemble the heads and machine the top of the guide with a special .530 diameter cutter. Whenever you are planning an engine overhaul or a cam change, don’t forget the valve seals.

Product Features:

• Work with stock guides and 11/32″ valve stem diameter
• Valve stem oil seals keep unwanted oil from entering the combustion chamber
• Several different types of valve seals are offered
