NOTES
• 1999–2004 stock springs will handle camshafts with lift up to 0.510". If a camshaft with higher lift is installed, high performance valve springs capable

of handling a greater lift must be used.

• 2005–up stock valve springs will handle camshafts with lift up to 0.585". If a camshaft with higher lift is installed, high performance valve springs

capable of handling a greater lift must be used. Cams with over 0.585" of lift will cause interference between the valve spring top collar and the valve

seal with stock cylinder heads.

• Piston to valve clearance will need to be confirmed when using a cam with over 0.585" of lift. Clearance should be at least 0.060" intake and .080"

exhaust.

• Valve to valve clearance will need to be confirmed when using a cam over 0.585" lift. Clearance should be a minimum of 0.060"
• Installation of S&S chain drive cams requires special tools. See Picture 1 on page 3 for the required tools. Attempting the cam change operation

without these tools will be difficult. Damage can result which will not be covered under warranty.

• Possible failure may result if thread locking compound is not applied to the cam drive sprocket flange bolts. Always prepare threads according to the

instructions on the container.

• S&S® chain drivecams are compatible with the stock splined chain sprocket used in 2000–up Twin Cam 88 engines, but may be used in 1999 engines if

the Harley-Davidson 2000–up splined rear cam sprocket and appropriate 2000-up sprocket spacer are used.

• Changing camshafts in the Twin Cam 88® engine requires use of hydraulic press and special tools. This installation should be undertaken only by

experienced mechanic with access to Harley-Davidson® service manual and all required tools or equivalent. Tightening fasteners to correct specifications

with accurate torque wrench is mandatory.
