• Installing Evo Cams (91 and Up)

• 86-99 - Matched cam gear set includes pinion gear and gearcase cover. (not sold separately)
• 00 - Options increased;
  • Cam gear sets w/ pinion gear,
  • Gear sets w/ #2 cam and pinion gear (only).
  • The gearcase cover was now sold separately.

• The #2 “W” cam may or may not have a provision for a timing cup after 03. ⁹⁾
  • If you intend on installing 04-up “W” cams in 03 and prior engines, look at the end of the #2 cam.
  • If it does have a provision for a timing cup, they'll work for prior year applications.
  • But, you'll have to either update your pinion gear, or use a press to swap your #2 cam's drive gear.
  • For 03 and prior year engines, it needs a drilled and tapped hole in the middle of it and the timing cup notch.

• Below (L), you can see the notch on the cam on the right very easily.
• Below (R), shows the (00) #2 cam gear pitch change from the (99) style #2 cam gear.

Frame mount Evos 1986-2003 do not list a part number for the pinion gear and it appears the pinion gear is part of the (cam gear set).

• The cam bushings get their oil from the fling off of the cam gears and drain back from the top end down the pushrod tubes that puddles in at depressions in the castings where the cam bushing slots are aligned. So basically they are drip fed. Also the cam bushings on the case side are open to the crank behind them, and probably get splash there too. ¹⁶⁾
