S&S Cycle 496 Series Chain Drive Cam Chest Kit

Upgrade your motorcycle's performance with the S&S Cycle 496 Series Chain Drive Cam Chest Kit. Engineered for superior power and reliability, this comprehensive kit delivers enhanced oiling, reduced valvetrain noise, and improved stability for oil-cooled engines.

Description

The S&S Cycle 496 Series Cam Chest Kit is meticulously designed to optimize your engine's valvetrain and oiling system. At its core, the oil pump and cam plate are precision machined from high-quality billet aluminum, ensuring exceptional durability and consistent performance. This kit features independent scavenge sections for both the flywheel cavity and cam chest, significantly increasing oil flow capacity on both the feed and scavenge sides. Debris screens in both scavenge pickups, along with a strategically placed magnet in the cam chest, prevent contaminants from reaching the oil pump, extending engine life. The adjustable pressure relief valve allows for fine-tuning even after installation. Included are S&S Cycle's renowned Quickee pushrods, known for their easy installation. The tappets provide fast pump-up and superior high-RPM performance, minimizing valvetrain noise from startup to shutdown due to their close tolerances and low leak rates. Complementing this, the hard-anodized black tappet cuffs improve tappet stability in high-lift and high-RPM situations, making this 496 Series grind kit ideal for oil-cooled applications seeking a significant performance boost with 0.485" intake and exhaust lift.
