What lifters should I use?
Getting ready to replace the HD OEM lifters in my 09 Ultra.
I'm running a bolt in S&S cam with moderate lift, which I think has started to work the HD OEM lifters over the edge at around 30k klicks, as I'm starting to hear increased noise from the valve train at idle/low revs with the 'normal' lower oil pressure at idle.
At operating revs when oil pressure is ~32psi the valve train sounds better eg my thinking is towards the lifters weakening.
Given that there is considerable discussion regarding quality lifters, I'm thinking either S&S or Woods Directionals at the moment.
Feedback appreciated from those who have changed lifters in regards to what ones did you use and why.

Well I am still in shock at how little noise I have from my Johnson V-lift Hylift lifters. I paid $109 for a set of 4, running woods TW6 cams. Which is actually a well known noisy cam.
While your in there might as well change out the pushrods, The S&S quickee pushrods allow you to install without removing the tappet covers. Saves some time pulling the tappet covers plus getting the pushrods set to zero lash is a lot faster.
