S&S, 583G gear-driven camshaft kit (IOG)

.583" valve lift. IOG = gear-driven camshafts with internal and external drive gears. Complete kit with installation hardware, bearings and gasket.
Direct fit. For 88 to 103" engines with compression ratios between 9.7:1 and 10.5:1, and 106" to 124" engines with a compression ratio of 9:1 to 10:1. Delivers great power and torque from 3000 RPM. Range 1500 to 5000 RPM.
The gear drive system is in fact a revolutionary, different and far more reliable construction. Especially in high lift/performance applications, compared with the factory chain drive design. A gear driven camshaft is stronger and will not suffer any of the mechanical problems associated with factory chain driven camshafts. The S&S gear drive kit will increase valve timing accuracy, and therefore power, by eliminating timing chain slack and the loose-fitting stock cam gears. The only drawback of gear drive is that you may experience a slight increase in mechanical noise; this is why the factory uses a chain. It has no other mechanical advantage. As the chain guides and tensioner are removed, there is no longer any chance of these parts failing and damaging other parts of the engine. The S&S gear drive kit reverses the rotation of the rear camshaft, providing additional operating clearance between the cams. As a result, greater cam lifts are possible with S&S gear driven camshafts.
Note: With the exception of the 475G and 510G camshafts, adjustable pushrods (such as MCS 503573) are required to compensate for the smaller base circle of these camshafts.
Note: It may be necessary to remove material from the inner surface of the factory gear cover before installing the S&S external drive gears.
Note: The required S&S installation kit (503566) for gear driven camshafts is included in this complete (IOG) kit.
Note: Using camshafts with .625", .635", .640" and .675" lifts will require machining of the crankcases.
Note: The factory beehive valve springs on Dyna 04-17; Softail 04-17 and Touring 04-16 models will accommodate valve lifts of up to 590" and a valve seat force of 160 lb, up to 6200 RPM. Exceeding 6200 RPM or lifts greater than 590" will require high-performance valve springs.
