Does this kit use the original cam plate
By Anon.
Answer QuestionYes, that's correct - you are to re-use the OEM cam plate in order to install this kit. If you're looking for something that's better than the stock Harley-Davidson cam plate, we do have the S&S TC3 cam plate to go along with it. The internal oil passages flow more oil than the stock unit, so you the motor will run a little cooler. Of, since you're already in there doing the cams, you may want to consider the S&S TC3 Oil Pump & Cam Plate Kit which includes, obviously, the same cam plate along with a better oil pump. The pump in particular is much more durable than stock, and more tolerant of pinion shaft runout, so it'll certainly last longer all the while moving more oil throughout the engine and enhancing overall engine cooling performance as well. We cannot say enough good things about these cam and oil pump kits for HD Twin Cam engines!
