S&S Cycle M8 496 Cam Chest Kit - Black - 310-1385

Unleash the full potential of your engine with the S&s Cycle 496 Cam Chest Kit, engineered for superior performance and reliability. This comprehensive kit provides a significant upgrade to your motorcycle's valvetrain and oiling system, ensuring optimal function under demanding conditions.

Description

The heart of this high-performance S&s Cycle 496 Cam Chest Kit lies in its precision-machined billet aluminum oil pump and cam plate. This robust construction ensures exceptional durability and consistent performance. Designed with independent scavenge sections for both the flywheel cavity and cam chest, the system significantly increases oil flow capacity on both feed and scavenge sides, ensuring critical engine components are always adequately lubricated. Debris screens in both scavenge pickups, along with a strategically placed magnet in the cam chest, prevent harmful particles from entering the oil pump, extending engine life. The adjustable pressure relief valve allows fine-tuning even after installation.

Complementing the advanced oiling system are the included Quickee pushrods, known for their easy installation and reliable operation. The tappets feature fast pump-up and deliver superior high RPM performance, effectively reducing valvetrain noise from startup to shutdown thanks to their close tolerances. Hard anodized black tappet cuffs further enhance stability, particularly in high-lift and high-RPM situations, ensuring precise valve actuation. This kit's 496 Series cam grind offers an impressive 0.485" intake and exhaust lift, with an intake duration of 227° and exhaust duration of 243°, providing a noticeable power boost and improved throttle response for water-cooled applications.
