Supertech Lash Cap 6mm Dia 3.05mm Thick 2.8mm Deep

This is a Supertech valve lash cap, designed for 6mm valve stems. It measures 3.05mm thick and has a depth of 2.8mm. Lash caps are used to take up excess clearance in the valvetrain, often when installing aftermarket camshafts or shims that alter the geometry. They sit between the valve stem tip and the rocker arm or cam lobe, ensuring proper contact and preventing wear on the valve stem itself.

Supertech makes these lash caps from durable steel, built to withstand the constant impact and heat found in the valvetrain. The precise dimensions ensure it sits correctly on the valve stem, maintaining the intended lash setting. This particular cap is for a 6mm valve stem diameter, which is common in many performance and import applications. Using the correct lash cap is important for maintaining proper valve timing and preventing damage to your valvetrain components.
