Default Looking into a cam swap in my 91

I was looking into swapping in an ev-27 cam in the old evo this winter and stumbled across this on ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-EVO-C...217ac0&vxp=mtr

Was just wondering if there is any reason on why I shouldn't go with this "kit". Just Noticed in the Q & A at the bottom that it comes with revtec or johnson lifters I know the harley "b" lifters are supposed to be the best, but are these ok too?

Thanks

Just a comparison of quality parts vs cheaper. Got quotes from this seller on a Woods cam, & was $40 higher than going thru a regular distributor. You can selectively get a better deal if you do your homework & shop around. It's your money, spend it how you like.
Ride safe,

I like the looks of those pushrods. I've tried Screamin Eagle, Taper Lites, and some other crap off eBay, and they are all fat. They bang against the tubes, make all kinds of racket. I see where people put in cams, lifters, and quick install pushrods, and end up with a lot of valve train noise. They blame the lifters, they blame the cam, but never the pushrods. I looks like these could be good, but they still have that fat part for the adjuster, can't avoid that.

Thanks for the links. I was worried about the revtech lifters, google doesn't return any favorable result for them I'll just spend the extra $ and get quality name items.
