You can get all of the part #'s on the Andrews website. I used their 26N cams and ordered all the parts from Zanotti's. They had the cheapest price on the oil pump, way less than everyone else. The oil pressure increased from 32 to around 45 (halfway between 32 & 60). or H-D has their own kit available. Part # is in another thread

I had the same experience, couldn't believe how cheap the pump was.

how hard is it to do the job yourself?

i bought an 06' roadglide new from my local dealership. had the 95" w/ htcc heads & 257 cams & race tuner installed b4 taking del. spit & sputtered for 999 miles(had to wait till a thousand 2 put it on the dyno) & crashed @999 breaking the frame (along with just about everything else) in 4 places. ins. re- everythinged it, and then 50 miles from sturgis(i live in florida) 07' a lifter went and took out everything. it was a "box job". had to be shipped back to my local dealership who thankfully did all the work...AGAIN. ran up my credit card doing sturgis & yellowstone & the smokies on the way back all on rentals. this time around they blamed faulty lifters that not surprisingly H.D. had just re-designed. sooo, in go the new lifters. i get a divorce. i hardly ride. i ride a little and start hearing noises. thankfully, i kept all my 88" original parts. i tell them to re-store it to stock, but there's been some damage on the cam support plate and pump- which i saw today with my own eyes. was told about this new hydraulic unit complete with up-graded oil pump and told them to order it and put it in. my bike is paid for. it's my favorite model harley makes, and i plan on keeping it a loooong time. sure, i have some digs about H.D. and their "screamin' eagle" parts, but i've had my fill of fast. i just want to putt, in style, w/o soooo many worries.

OK all - let's hear some updates on your experiences with this mod - how are you liking your SE hydraulic tensioner/cam plate/oil pump kit by now? How much did you spend to get it put it in? Did stick with stock cams or upgrade?

I'm getting ready to bite the bullet and would love to hear about your experience with this.

Well, i can't say that i like it or hate it, i don't really notice any difference, which i guess is a good thing. Its one of those things that it either works or it doesn't, and in my case, its worked well, glad that i had it installed.

I had it installed along with Andrews 26N cams and noticed a good performance boost. This was before I did my big bore.
