New Steel Dowel Pins for M-8 Valvetrain System
Suitable for M-8 platforms from 2017 and up, this
new multi-use dowel manufactured in California by
KPMI has been designed to replace the OEM dowel
in the heads, cylinders, crank case, and cam-support
cover of M-8 engines.
Described as “incorporating OEM elements while
increasing ease of installation through the overall
shape of the part”, a radiused end is said to allow
easy insertion into the cylinder or case, with a
tapered end designed for “hassle-free location of the
mating holes in the head or cam-support cover.”
Conveniently packaged in quantities of four, eight
and 20 they are black oxide coated, corrosion
resistant and offer improved tolerances over the
OEM component.
Last year saw KPMI introduce a slew of product
design updates for M-8s, including high performance
replacement and high lift beehive spring kits. Wound
from a blend of chrome silicon wire that is designed
specifically for performance valvetrain, they allow the
use of aggressive cam profiles, with lifts of up to
.550” for performance builds.
KPMI’s heat-treated steel retainers provide excellent
durability and life expectancy and weigh only 2 g
more than their titanium equivalent, with titanium
retainers also offered for performance applications
that require the lightest possible high strength parts.
KPMI ‘Black Diamond’ intake and exhaust valves are
said to offer combined weight savings of
approximately 6.8 g over the OEM components,
reducing we ar and tear on the rest of the valvetrain
and allowing the engine to rev higher. KPMI also
offers ‘White Diamond’ Inconel exhaust valves for
extreme duty applications with high exhaust gas
temperatures.
