KIBBLEWHITE KPMI SPRING KIT (SHIM-IN-TAPPET), HT STEEL, 0.445" LIFT

KPMI shim in tappet systems locate the adjustment shim in the hardened steel of the tappet body, where it is impervious to wearing (ovalling) and kicking the shim out. By designing the tappet and retainer together as a system, the shim counterbore depth in the tappet has been maximized. This allows for increased insurance against losing the shim even in the event of valvetrain separation during severe operating conditions, over-revs, or extreme boost pressures.
