About this product
Elevate your Harley-Davidson M8 engine's performance and reliability with the advanced S&S Cycle M8 cam chest kit. This comprehensive upgrade delivers superior oiling and valvetrain stability, crucial for demanding riding conditions and high-performance applications.
Description
The S&S Cycle Cam Chest Kit is engineered for Harley-Davidson M8 engines, offering a significant upgrade to your motorcycle's internal components. This kit features a precision-machined billet aluminum oil pump and cam plate, designed to enhance lubrication with a remarkable 44% flow increase on the supply side and an even greater 58% increase on the scavenge side. This improved oil flow is vital for maintaining optimal engine temperature and component longevity, especially in high-performance or water-cooled applications. The cam plate also includes an independent scavenge section for both the flywheel cavity and cam chest, along with debris screens and a magnet to prevent harmful particles from entering the oil pump. An adjustable pressure relief valve allows for fine-tuning even after installation. Complementing the oiling system are S&S Quikee Pushrods and meticulously hand-assembled S&S Precision Tappets, engineered to reduce valvetrain noise and ensure fast pump-up with low leak-down rates for consistent high RPM performance. The robust billet aluminum tappet cuffs, hard anodized in black, provide superior strength over stock, eliminating distortion and improving tappet stability under high lift and high RPM conditions. This gear drive cam chest kit is proudly made in the USA and is compatible with VVT models, ensuring a comprehensive and durable upgrade.
