Description

The S&S Cycle M8 Cam Chest Kit is engineered to deliver superior engine performance and reliability for your Harley-Davidson M8. At its core, the oil pump and cam plate are meticulously precision-machined from robust billet aluminum, then finished with a striking blue anodized coating for both durability and aesthetic appeal. This advanced design incorporates independent scavenge sections for both the flywheel cavity and the cam chest, coupled with debris screens in both scavenge pickups, to ensure optimal oil scavenging and engine cleanliness. Riders will experience increased oil flow capacity on both the feed and scavenge sides, crucial for maintaining consistent oil pressure and lubrication, especially in high-performance applications. The adjustable pressure relief valve allows for fine-tuning even after installation, providing precise control over oil pressure. This comprehensive kit also includes S&S premium tappets and stronger-than-stock billet aluminum tappet cuffs with a hard-anodized black coating, designed to eliminate distortion and enhance tappet stability, particularly in high-lift situations. Proudly made in the USA, this chain drive kit features the performance-oriented 465C grind and includes a cam chain tensioner, ensuring a complete and robust upgrade for M8 engines, including those equipped with VVT.
