S&S Cycle M8 Gear Drive Cam Chest Kit

Elevate the performance and reliability of your Milwaukee-Eight engine with the S&S Cycle M8 Gear Drive Cam Chest Kit. This premium upgrade is engineered to deliver superior cam timing accuracy and enhanced oiling, making it an essential component for any serious Harley-Davidson M8 enthusiast seeking maximum power and durability.

Description

The S&S Cycle M8 Gear Drive Cam Chest Kit completely transforms your M8 engine's valvetrain by eliminating the stock cam chain tensioner in favor of a robust gear drive system. This critical upgrade ensures precise cam timing, leading to more consistent power delivery and increased engine longevity. Each component within this kit is meticulously matched for superior quality, fit, and performance, ensuring a seamless integration into your Harley-Davidson M8, including models with Variable Valve Timing (VVT).

Precision-machined from high-quality billet aluminum with an eye-catching blue anodized finish, the oil pump and cam plate are built for extreme durability and optimal function. The innovative design features independent scavenge sections for both the flywheel cavity and cam chest, along with debris screens in both scavenge pickups, significantly improving oil cleanliness. With increased oil flow capacity on both the feed and scavenge sides, your engine's critical components receive superior lubrication. An adjustable pressure relief valve allows for fine-tuning while the unit is installed, and a magnet in the cam chest further helps prevent debris from reaching the oil pump. The kit also includes S&S Quickee Pushrods with finished pushrod tubes, S&S premium tappets, and billet aluminum tappet cuffs that are stronger than stock, enhancing tappet stability in high-lift and high-RPM situations for grinds like the 465G.
