$389.00
Conical Beehive Valve Springs (155 lbs Seat Pressure) – Retainers & Locks Included
Upgrade your 12-valve Cummins valvetrain with our Conical Beehive Valve Springs, delivering 155 lbs of seat pressure to keep valves firmly under control up to 4,500rpm RPM or 65lbs of boost/drive pressure. This conical design offers enhanced stability for moderate cams and OEM-size valves, all the way up to 4,500 RPM.
Why Conical Beehive Springs?
- Improved Valvetrain Control: Reduce valve float and reversion, critical issues when boost and RPM levels rise.
- Power-Boosting Potential: Customers have reported 10–12 HP gains when switching from 60 lb springs to our beehives, thanks to consistent valve seal and reduced reversion.
- Higher Seat Pressure (155 lbs @ 1.880″): Ensures valves won’t be forced open by intake or exhaust pressures, safeguarding against damage and power loss.
- Conical Shape for Stability: The latest spring design improves harmonic damping, leading to smoother, more reliable operation at higher RPM.
What’s Included
- Retainers & Locks: Ready to install for most 12-valve Cummins configurations.
- Optional Locks: Increase your installed height by .075″ if needed for specific build requirements.
Installation & Considerations
- RPM Range: Perfect for builds up to 4,500 RPM with mild-to-moderate cam profiles and stock-size valves.
- When to Upgrade: If you exceed 4,500 RPM or .360″ lift aftermarket cams, or use larger valves, consider stepping up to our Dual Spring kit for added safety and control.
- Combat Valve Float & Reversion: Keep harmful exhaust gases out of the intake stroke, preserving combustion quality and maximizing power.
Elevate your 12-valve Cummins performance with our Conical Beehive Valve Springs (155 lbs seat pressure)—an essential upgrade for improved reliability, consistent power, and better valvetrain durability under demanding conditions.

These 155 lb conical beehive springs include retainers and locks for 12-valve Cummins builds with moderate cams and stock-size valves. Review the installed-height specifications; larger valves, more lift or operation above 4,500 RPM may call for the dual spring kit.
