What is the main advantage of using a gear drive system over a chain drive?

The primary advantage of a gear drive system is the elimination of the cam chain. This removes the risk of cam chain failure, which can cause significant engine damage, and provides a more direct and consistent transfer of power from the cams to the crankshaft.

Does this kit include everything needed to replace the cam chest components?

This kit includes the S&S oil pump, cam support plate, performance cams, and tappets. It's designed as a comprehensive replacement for the critical components in the cam chest. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of recommended tools and any additional hardware that may be needed.

What is the 'Easy Start' feature on the 585GE cams?

The 'Easy Start' feature on the 585GE cams is designed to reduce the compression release point during cranking. This makes it easier for the starter motor to turn the engine over, especially on larger displacement engines, reducing strain on the starter and battery.
