Straight Cut Cam Gears

Windage Tubes
These inexpensive replacements for your stock push rod tubes feature an extra long end going into the crank case, which eliminates oil starvation at the pick-up tube by preventing it from sloshing into the heads. This is often encountered during hard cornering or off road conditions. Keep your oil in the sump, where it belongs.
