I have something to say about pushrods. I believe you will be better off going with the steel ones as opposed to the aluminum. The weight difference is not an issue in an engine run under 6,000 rpm (and possibly even higher rpm). The thing I have experienced with aluminum pushrods is that they are larger in diameter than the steel ones and are more prone to hitting the pushrod tubes creating a ticking that you may find irritating...I read a lot of posts on here where someone is complaining about an obnoxious ticking. It doesn't happen to everyone but the possibility is there and if you aren't spinning your engine way up there, I don't think you'll realize any benefit from the lighter pushrods.

I agree with using steel pushrods. An indy said the aluminum ones resonate sound more while the steel absorbs it.

I also agree with swapping the cam gears so you don't have to worry about changing the pinion gear or excessive gear whine. Just make sure you mark the gears in relation to the keyway in the cam and line 'er up good.

Stock Harley "B" lifters are proven.

You may want the lifter block aligning tool. I made mine.
