Hamilton Cams 24 Valve Flat Tappet Conversion Kit 19-24 Ram 6.7L Cummins

Forged Steel Camshafts:

• Tighter Grain Structure: Our 178-208 steel cams are forged, not cut from bar stock, resulting in a more dense, more uniform grain structure.
• Enhanced Longevity: A natural “halo” in grain structure forms on the exterior of the cam during forging, adding a layer of strength for extended service life.

DLC-Coated Tappets:

• Gas Carburized & Polished: Each tappet undergoes a meticulous hardening process that gives us the hardness to act as a very stable base metal for the DLC coating.
• Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coating: This ultra-hard surface finish dramatically reduces friction and wear. While DLC is a big leap forward to lower friction and extend part life, it can be damaged by using incorrect oil, incorrect lash, or experiencing valve float. Thin viscosity oils, do not provide the correct hydro-dynamic wedge flat tappets need.
• Oils with low, zinc, phosphorous and molybdenum do not provide the additive package needed for a flat tappet.
• Lash that is too loose can damage lifters or coating by increasing the impact when lash goes to solid. Make sure your lash is correct. High rpm amplifies the impact of the camshaft to the tappet. High spring pressures and high rpm are discouraged for longevity’s sake.

Heavy-Duty Pushrods:

• 3500 lbs Buckling Force, compared to around 1800 lbs for OEM pushrods, drastically reduce deflection at high cylinder pressures.
• Consistent Valve Timing, with less flex, your valvetrain stays precisely in sync, even under extreme conditions.

Upgraded Rocker Arms:

• High-Quality Castings are built to handle intense stress and heat cycles.
• Gas Carburized Ball & Foot that reduces friction and wear for longer service intervals.
• DLC-Coated Trunnions minimize galling, an all too common issue with OEM trunnions, and lowers overall friction in the valvetrain.
