S&S Cycle 496 Cam Chest Kit for Oil Cooled Engines

Elevate your motorcycle's performance with the high-quality S&S Cycle 496 Cam Chest Kit. This comprehensive kit delivers superior oiling and valve train stability, engineered for enthusiasts seeking a robust and reliable upgrade for their oil-cooled engine.

Description

The S&S Cycle 496 Cam Chest Kit is a complete performance solution designed to optimize your engine's oiling and valve train. At its core, the oil pump and cam plate are precision machined from durable billet aluminum, ensuring exceptional strength and longevity. This kit features independent scavenge sections for both the flywheel cavity and cam chest, significantly improving oil return efficiency. Debris screens in both scavenge pickups and a strategically placed magnet in the cam chest work together to prevent contaminants from reaching the oil pump, extending engine life. With increased oil flow capacity on both the feed and scavenge sides, your engine receives optimal lubrication under all conditions. The adjustable pressure relief valve allows for fine-tuning of oil pressure even after installation, providing precise control. This motorcycle cam kit also includes high-performance Quickee pushrods for straightforward installation and dependable operation. The advanced tappets ensure fast pump-up and superior high-RPM performance, drastically reducing valve train noise from startup to shutdown, thanks to their close tolerances and low leak rates. Completing the system are hard-anodized black tappet cuffs, which enhance tappet stability during high-lift and high-RPM situations, making this S&S Cycle cam chest an indispensable upgrade for serious riders.
