It is 49 state certified. We are confident it would pass CARB testing, but we don’t do business in California.

While DLC is a big leap forward to lower friction and extend component life, it can be damaged by using incorrect oil, incorrect lash, experiencing valve float or with metal contamination. Thin viscosity oils, do not provide the correct shear capabilities that flat tappets need. It is also important that you use 15w-40 oil that has adequate Zinc, Phosphorous and Molybdenum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e We are working to expand our list of approved oils. As of now, the following are approved for use with our flat tappet conversion. Valvoline 15w-40 Premium Blue, Valvoline 15w-40 Synthetic Blend, Schaeffer 15w-40, and Rotella T5 15w-40.  Use another oil…and no warranty will be offered. All warranty claims must include failed parts and an oil sample.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLash that is too loose or can damage lifters or coating by increasing the impact when lash goes to solid. Lash that is too tight will damage coating because it does not allow enough oil film thickness to form before the next impact cycle. Make sure your lash is correct .010″\/.020″ after 5 minutes of running, and after you retorque your head, please re-check. High rpm amplifies the impact of the camshaft to the tappet which can break through the oil film above 4,000rpm. High spring pressures and high rpm are discouraged for longevity’s sake, as there are not enough film strength and additives in emission compliant oils to allow these extreme scenarios.  In these cases where viscosity is too low, lash is too much, rpm too high or spring pressure is too high, the film strength is not adequate to keep the tappet and the cam separated. In this case the DLC will be degraded into graphite and will start to decompose and delaminate. You have to choose if you want longevity or to party… unfortunately you can do both only for a short while. Lastly, any wear metals from other failures get into the non-filtered splash oil between the lifters and the cam and can kill DLC coating in short order. Fleetguard Stratapore LF16035  is our preferred oil filter.  Although this is a performance camshaft that is emission compliant, think of it as a fix for stock or mild builds that do not exceed 4,000rpm and use OEM springs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty Pushrods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3500+ lbs Buckling Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compared to around 1800 lbs for OEM pushrods, ours drastically reduce deflection at high cylinder pressures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConsistent Valve Timing\u003c\/strong\u003e: With less flex, your valvetrain stays precisely in sync—even under extreme conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUpgraded Rocker Arms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Quality Casting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Built to handle intense stress and heat cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGas Carburized Ball \u0026amp; Foot\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reduces friction and wear for longer service intervals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDLC-Coated Trunnion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Minimizes galling—an all-too-common issue with OEM trunnions—and lowers overall friction in the valvetrain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOil Recommendations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Valvoline 15W-40 premium blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchaeffer 700 Series 15w-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFleetguard Stratapore filter LF16035\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProven Performance \u0026amp; Reliability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecades of Experience\u003c\/strong\u003e: Our cams have powered countless diesel engines for millions of road miles and thousands of dyno runs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSEMA-Certified (49-State Compliance)\u003c\/strong\u003e: This kit is tested and certified for street use in 49 states, giving you peace of mind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Fitment Notice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you’ve had your engine block or cylinder head surfaced,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eplease call us for verification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto ensure proper kit fitment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntake Valve Lash\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.010″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExhaust Valve Lash\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.020″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you choose\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHamilton Cams\u003c\/strong\u003e, you’re investing in proven innovation and superior craftsmanship.
