Cam Chain to S&S Gear Drive Cam Kit Conversion Wrap-Up
Mike RoenDescription
A gear drive or hydraulic cam chain tensioner upgrade is an excellent upgrade for any Twin Cam Harley Davidson. During this cam chain to S&S gear drive cam kit conversion, Mike has also upgraded lifters, cam support plate, pushrods, oil pump, and inner and outer cam bearings.
S&S Cycle has excellent tech support. Whether unsure of the correct part or confused about an instruction, S&S customer support is always quick to answer and they never make you feel like you are asking a dumb question about the S&S gear drive cam kit or any of their products.
During the life span of a Twin Cam motor, addressing the cam chest is inevitable. If you are interested in a S&S gear drive cam kit conversion, measure the pinion shaft run-out. If you are out of spec, the bottom end can come apart to be re-balanced & trued or you can opt for a hydraulic cam chain tensioner upgrade.
Either conversion is a major improvement to your Twin Cam motor.

Thank you for this outstanding series of videos about the cam chain to cam gear conversion. Unfortunately, my '04 Ultra Classic did have a catastrophic tensioner failure that distributed little orange flecks of tensioner shoe throughout the engine. I am definitely going with gears. Well Done!
