Supertech Cam Follower 34 x 21 x 6.5+ Shim 8mm Dia DLC Coated - (Set of 12)

Supertech is well-known for making high-performance engine components, and this set of 12 DLC-coated cam followers is a prime example of their work. These followers are designed to be a direct replacement for your existing ones, but with significant upgrades to handle more demanding engine builds. The cam follower's job is to transfer the motion from the camshaft lobe to the valve, and its design and materials are critical for smooth operation and longevity, especially at higher RPMs and under increased stress.

What sets these followers apart is the Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. This advanced coating is incredibly hard and has a very low coefficient of friction, which means it reduces wear on both the follower and the camshaft lobe, and it also helps to minimize parasitic drag within the valvetrain. This can lead to improved efficiency and a more responsive engine. The followers themselves measure 34mm x 21mm with an 8mm diameter shaft, and this set includes shims that are 6.5mm and larger, allowing for precise valve lash adjustments during your engine build. Having a complete set of 12 ensures you can outfit an entire engine with these upgraded components.

When you're building or rebuilding an engine where performance and reliability are key, components like these cam followers make a real difference. The DLC coating is a notable feature that helps protect your valvetrain components and can contribute to overall engine health and performance under stress. Ensure you have the correct tools and procedures for setting valve lash when installing these, as precise adjustment is crucial for optimal engine function.
