The S&S CYCLE Cam Chest Kit for the 496 Gear Drive Cam (Part 310-1383) is engineered for high-performance engines requiring reliable oil management and enhanced valve train stability. Crafted from precision-machined billet aluminum, the oil pump and cam plate feature removable passage plugs for easy servicing and maintenance. This design ensures efficient oil flow and simplifies routine checks, helping to maintain optimal engine operation. The kit includes independent scavenge sections for the flywheel cavity and cam chest, along with debris screens in both scavenge pickups, which work together to prevent contaminants from entering the oil system and ensure smooth oil circulation. Additionally, a magnet installed in the cam chest helps capture debris, further protecting the oil pump and internal components. Increased oil flow capacity on both the feed and scavenge sides ensures consistent lubrication under demanding conditions. An updated oil pump with a groove for an optional OEM oil seal enhances sealing reliability, while the adjustable pressure relief valve allows fine-tuning of oil pressure with the unit installed in the engine, offering customization based on your engine's needs. The kit also features Quickee pushrods designed for fast pump up and superior high RPM performance, reducing valve train noise from startup to shutdown. Tappets with close tolerances exhibit low leak rates, contributing to efficient oil delivery and engine responsiveness. The tappet cuffs are hard anodized in black, providing increased stability in high lift and high RPM scenarios, which is essential for performance applications. This comprehensive cam chest kit is ideal for enthusiasts seeking durability, ease of maintenance, and enhanced engine performance in their M8-powered motorcycles.
