Performance Valvetrain Components

Your valvetrain controls how your engine breathes. Every valve event affects airflow, combustion, and overall performance. Maintaining control of that motion is critical to power, reliability, and engine longevity.

This category includes camshafts, lifters, pushrods, rocker arms, valves, valve springs, retainers, guides, locks, and seals for LS- and LT-based engines. These components are designed to work together as a system to maintain stable valve operation under increased load, higher RPM, and performance-driven conditions.

• Maintains precise valve motion for consistent engine operation
• Supports stable valvetrain control at higher RPM
• Helps reduce the risk of valve float and component instability
• Designed for performance builds, including modified and high-output engines
• Engineered for LS and LT platform compatibility

Camshafts define valve timing, while lifters and pushrods transfer motion through rocker arms to actuate the valves. Valve springs maintain control of the valve throughout the engine cycle, especially at higher engine speeds where instability can occur.

Selecting the correct valvetrain components helps maintain consistent performance, reduce the risk of component wear, and support long-term reliability in both street and competition applications.
