Supertech Mazda Miata Cam Follower 30x26x16mm (Use w/5.5mm Lash Cap) DLC Coated - Single (D/S Only)

This is a single Supertech cam follower for your Mazda Miata, specifically designed for use with a 5.5mm lash cap. Cam followers, also known as lifters or tappets, are crucial components in your engine's valvetrain. They sit between the camshaft lobe and the valve stem, transferring the camshaft's motion to open the valves. This particular follower features a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, a very hard and low-friction surface treatment that helps reduce wear and improve performance.

Supertech uses a well-built design for these followers, and the DLC coating is a notable upgrade over stock. This coating is known for its excellent durability and its ability to minimize friction, which can lead to improved valvetrain stability and potentially a slight increase in power due to reduced parasitic drag. It's designed to handle the demands of performance engines, ensuring consistent operation and longevity.

When replacing cam followers, it's often a good idea to inspect the camshaft lobes for wear and ensure your valve springs are in good condition. This part is sold individually, so be sure to order the correct quantity for your engine.
