Description

Product Overview

The Comp Cams 2900-16 pushrod seat is a precision‑engineered component designed to meet the demanding requirements of high‑performance racing engines. With a .842‑inch diameter and a lightweight 86 g construction, this seat delivers a perfect balance of strength and reduced mass, allowing for quicker engine response and higher RPM limits. The seat height of 1.88 inches is carefully calibrated to ensure optimal camshaft lift and valve timing, providing a solid foundation for aggressive cam profiles.

Manufactured by COMP Cams, a trusted name in performance camshaft technology, the 2900‑16 model incorporates a precision‑ground crown radius that enhances camshaft compatibility and promotes smoother valve operation. The one‑piece pushrod seat design eliminates unnecessary joints, reducing the risk of misalignment and improving overall durability under extreme conditions. Additionally, the oil band is precisely machined and accurately located to deliver a consistent, properly metered oil flow directly to the valve train, protecting critical components from wear.

Key specifications include a compact package measuring 1.97 x 1.97 x 3.94 inches, making it easy to install in a variety of engine configurations. The part is constructed from high‑grade materials that resist deformation at elevated temperatures, ensuring reliable performance even in the most demanding race environments. Its lightweight nature also contributes to a lower overall engine weight, which can translate to measurable gains in acceleration and handling.

Designed for elevated, race‑application valve spring pressures, this pushrod seat offers the durability and precision required by professional racers and serious enthusiasts alike. Whether you are building a street‑legal performance car or a dedicated track machine, the Comp Cams 2900‑16 pushrod seat provides the confidence that comes from using a component engineered for excellence.
