Supertech Cam Follower 40mm x 30mm x 3.0mm Thick - Single (D/S Only)

This Supertech cam follower measures 40mm in diameter and 30mm in width, with a 3.0mm thickness. It's designed as a single unit for the driver's side of the engine. Cam followers, also known as lifters or tappets, are crucial components that sit between the camshaft lobe and the valve stem. They translate the rotating motion of the camshaft into the linear motion needed to open the engine's valves.

A follower's job is to maintain contact with the camshaft lobe as it spins, ensuring precise valve timing and lift. The thickness of the follower is a critical dimension, especially when rebuilding or modifying an engine, as it directly affects valve lash and compression. This specific 3.0mm thick follower is a well-built replacement part designed to meet the original specifications for your engine's valve train.
