another lifter question....
alright, i got the Andrews EV27 cam and EZ adjustable pushrod kit for my '91 EVO
...but have been reading that I should replace the lifters, as well.... any suggestions?
i did a little research on the Harley 'B' lifters...is this the lifter I should go with, and does anyone maybe have a part number?
Thanks, Paul

I've run them as well. Just make sure to follow the directions. V-Thunder lifters require less of a preload than other brands. If you do not follow the adjustment recommendations, I guarantee you'll have a valve hanging open. I learned the hard way, been there and done that, but VT makes an excellent product.

to be honest, in my second harley i ever owned, i was drinking the woods cam koolaid (which is a joke at best), and was trying to get my w6 quiet (which is a even bigger joke), and i had a brand new "upgraded" b lifter fail, so i called my local indy to see what he recommended, and i ended up buying a v thunder camshaft and lifters, Upon inspection, the lifters had a noticably larger axle, plunger and body, Just a better product all around, plus the cam/lifter combo was as quiet as a church mouse, so better product for the stock product price equals a win in my book.

What in your opinion made the difference?

I'm recamming my '93 this winter and if I could have similar results to the EV27 with 10-1 and less noise I'd be real interested.

Are the ramps on the wood noticeably more abrupt than the V-thunder? I think that's the case with EV27's, I've heard that aluminum pushrods are quieter but I guess I just figured you have to live with the racket...
