Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need these if I'm doing a cam change?

Not required, but they're an ideal time to install them — tappets are already out and cuffs are easy to swap on.

Will these restrict tappet movement?

No. The cuffs capture and align tappets without impacting vertical motion, even at high RPM.

Do I need to check clearance?

Yes — due to variances between cam and tappet manufacturers, verify tappet-to-cuff clearance before final assembly.

What makes these better than OEM tappet designs?

Billet aluminum eliminates distortion, and the design keeps tappets perfectly aligned under high-stress, high-RPM conditions.
