Ensure optimal engine performance and longevity with the S&S Cycle Camshaft Shim Kit, engineered for precise cam chain alignment in your Harley-Davidson. This essential kit helps eliminate chain twist and premature wear, providing reliable operation for your motorcycle's valvetrain.

Description

Achieving perfect cam chain alignment is critical for the durability and smooth operation of your Harley-Davidson engine. This S&S Cycle camshaft shim kit is a direct replacement solution designed specifically for '07-'17 Harley-Davidson Big Twin models and '17-'26 Harley-Davidson M8 engines. The kit includes individual shims ranging from 0.100" to 0.150" in thickness, allowing you to meticulously adjust the axial alignment. By precisely matching the rear cam sprocket plane to the pinion shaft sprocket plane, you effectively eliminate cam chain twist, preventing the chain from riding up the sides of the sprocket teeth. This not only extends the life of your sprockets but also significantly prolongs the lifespan of your tensioner shoes, safeguarding your engine's internal components. This S&S Cycle sprocket alignment kit is required to restore correct alignment spacing whenever installing aftermarket base circles or custom cam plates, ensuring your engine runs as intended.
