New Red ShiftCams® Chain Tensioners system for the Milwaukee Eight® Engines.
The patented Red Shift dual piston, dual feed tensioners system and sprockets will help maintain the proper tension on the cam chain for more accurate valve timing. This system comes with a stronger, tighter fitting crank drive gear and cam gear to center the chain up accurately on the tensioner. This revolutionary design using multiple hydraulic bodies is simple and effective, improving cam chain tension stability, hydraulic performance, and valve train control for a quieter, better running engine. A staple in Twin Cam builds is now available for Milwaukee Eight® engines as well!
This system comes complete with offset crank and cam drive gears so you can properly align the chain to the tensioner shoe, while providing a tighter more stable fit in the crank pinion shaft. This system is a great upgrade for any rebuild, adding cams or when constructing a new high-performance engine.
What you can expect:
• Dual Pistons Eliminates Chain Instability via Tensioner Piston “Rocking”
• Dual Feed Oil and Larger Reservoirs for Improved Hydraulic Performance
• Durable Long Wear Tensioner Shoe
• Facilitates Accurate Cam Timing Events for Both Cylinders
• Better Compatibility to O.E. or Aftermarket Cranks than Gear Drive Cams
Red Shift® Dual Piston Tensioners are the “Go-To” product for all Twin Cam® engines using hydraulic chain tensioners. This patented, revolutionary design is simple and effective, improving cam chain tension stability, hydraulic performance, and valve train control for a quieter, better running engine.
The Red Shift® dual piston, dual feed tensioners system will help maintain the proper tension on the cam chain for more accurate valve timing. This system is a better alternative than adding a gear drive system as it will be more forgiving with crank run-out while maintaining proper chain tension. This revolutionary design is simple and effective, improving cam chain tension stability, hydraulic performance, and valve train control for a quieter, better running engine.
This product is a great upgrade for a rebuild, adding cams or when constructing a new high-performance engine.
What you can expect

Red Shift® Dual Piston Cam Chain Tensioners fit all 2007-2016 Touring models, 2006-2016 FXD engines, 2007-2017 Softail, and all 1999-2006 Twin Cam® engines converted to hydraulic tensioner systems.
When the time comes to rebuild or to improve the power/durability of the venerable Twin Cam engine replacing the O.E. cast aluminum cam plate should be on your menu.
The cam support plate in a Twin Cam® engine is the manifold system used to distribute all oil flow to critical areas of the engine via oil pressure bypass valve and pressure chamber.
Many older O.E. plates may have internal leaks due to porosity in the pressure chamber. When this is present the results are less oil volume and reduced pressure needed to provide enough oil volume/film on high pressure engine parts trying to weld themselves together.
Each cam plate is finished with a final process of blueprinting the pressure chamber to assure its fully machined and tested for proper sealing, blow off and reset pressures the maximum oil flow possible to all critical engine parts.

The Feuling® Race Pump is made from 7075, hard anodized billet aluminum and blueprint-built to the tightest tolerances for the uncompromising racer. Features 4140 chrome moly gerotor gears for higher scavenge volume and more oil pressure. Recommended for full race and performance street applications.
FEULING® OE+ stock replacement billet oil pumps deliver increased oil pressure and return scavenge volumes over the factory oil pumps. The competitively priced OE+ product line is an upgraded alternative to stock components. As with all FEULING® products, the OE+ Oil Pumps are designed and manufactured to the highest standard of quality with proven FEULING® performance.
The Oil Pressure Relief Valve is designed to limit the oil feed pressure at higher engine rpms, primarily to reduce excessive oil volume from being pumped to the top end. However, the factory-installed valve body does not have a concentric taper to seal on, and does not properly seal oil pressure when operating below the blow-off point (lower engine rpms). Baisley Performance’s Precision-Ground Oil Pressure Relief Valve has a concentric taper that is designed to seal the oil pressure below the blow-off point. This enhances and stabilizes the oil pressure at idle, and forces the oil to take the correct path to the critical areas of the engine; like the tappets, cam chain tensioners, piston cooling jets, and the top end.
The Twin Cam® engine features an oil pressure bypass passage within the cam support plate that is controlled by a spring-loaded plunger. The purpose of this passage is to allow excess oil pressure to be diverted back to the feed section of the oil system.
