Description

The S&S Cycle 496 cam chest kit is a premium solution for riders looking to significantly boost their engine's performance and longevity. At its core, the oil pump and cam plate are meticulously machined from high-strength billet aluminum, ensuring unparalleled precision and durability. This design incorporates independent scavenge sections for both the flywheel cavity and cam chest, optimizing oil return and preventing oil starvation. Crucially, debris screens are integrated into both scavenge pickups, alongside a powerful magnet within the cam chest, actively working to prevent harmful contaminants from reaching the oil pump and critical engine components. Riders will experience increased oil flow capacity on both the feed and scavenge sides, ensuring optimal lubrication and cooling.

This comprehensive motorcycle cam kit includes an updated oil pump with a clever groove for an optional OEM oil seal, offering enhanced sealing capabilities. Tuning is made easy with an adjustable pressure relief valve, which can be fine-tuned even while the unit is installed in your engine. The kit also features S&S Cycle's renowned Quickee pushrods for quick, reliable valve train operation. Complementing these are high-performance tappets designed for fast pump-up and superior high RPM performance, effectively reducing valve train noise from startup to shutdown thanks to their close tolerances and low leak rates. Stability is further improved by hard-anodized black tappet cuffs, engineered to enhance tappet stability during high lift and high RPM situations, making this S&S Cycle 496 cam chest kit a complete and powerful engine upgrade.
