I would like you to do a video on tuners for the average guy. Which is easiest. Which is best. From a guy who just wants a stage 1. And up. It seems to get confusing. And there are so many opinions on tuners. That it's hard to decide. I'm just wanting a stage 1. But want longevity and cooler running motor
For someone that has ridden Harley’s for years but I’ve never broke into the power train I love your videos. They are very informative and helpful. Thanks for putting them out there and please keep making them.
I have a 24’ Road glide and just purchased the SE-511 cam kit with their pushrods/lifters. Once zero lash is set on the pushrod is it 2-1/2 or 3-1/2 turns until it’s halfway down the lifter? I can’t seem to find the info of the thread pitch on the pushrod or the depth of the lifter.
Measure the top of 10 threads with a digital Vernier. For 20 tpi 10 will equal ½" or .500. it's ok to measure the top of 5 which gives you .250 for 20 tpi. The more threads you measure the less error you get. 16 tpi will give 0.500" over 8 threads ect. Might have to do a bit of basic division but make sure your logic follows the rules.
Biggest thing is the area under the piston inside the lifter is smaller on the short travels. There for the affects of aeration are less. Aeration will cause a decrease on valve lift, when the lifters pushes up against the pushrod it will compress the air and lessen the lift.
What’s your opinion on the screaming eagle adjustable, I’ve read a lot of good things about there adjustable s compared to others, S&S just seem to thin and cheap.
I have a 2000 TC 88 with 15k miles, It has a tick on the front cylinder when at temp (200°). I pulled it apart to replace the cam chain tensioners and check pinion runout, leaving everything stock because, money. Everything looked very good, runout at .0025", rocker shafts tight in their bore and no slop rocker to shaft. I couldn't see anything wrong on the lifters. Cams show no wear. I went a head and put rocker lockers in it, reassembled and it still has the tick. I intend to put a gear drive cam kit in it, but that won't happen until next winter. Do you think premium lifters with adjustable rods would eliminate my Twin Cam tick?
What do you want to see us cover next? Let us know what you want to see or what questions you have!

Glad people are finding them helpful. Thanks for watching.
Fueling HP Plus lifters and adjustable pushrods are quiet and great performers in my 110.
In my 128 with stock valve springs and a .475 lift cam the s&s quickies rubbed the tubes.
Anyone using the new woods platinum lifters? Fuelmoto swears by them nowadays. No needle bearings to fail but only been out like a year....

Can you used fueling pushrods and S&S lifter
Yes you can mix and match.
Yee!
I was thinking of going with a cycle roma 485 cam with fueling solid push rods no my 23 low rider st will that work? thank you
Should work fine. Just need to make sure you get the correct pushrods for your setup.
This is exactly the type of educational video I need. These are awesome and easily comprehensible. 👍
Glad you found it helpful!
just wondered which is better in a cappuccino?
fuel moto and woods products for me !!
We use a lot of their products as well. They make great parts.
thank you for the info---Question: I do not see Fuelings adjustable push rod for the M8? it only states "Twin Cam" on their web site?
It looks like Feuling is currently only offering one piece pushrods for the M8. S&S does have adjustable pushrods available.
What’s the advantage or disadvantage of a full travel versus a short travel lifter?
Biggest thing is the area under the piston inside the lifter is smaller on the short travels. There for the affects of aeration are less. Aeration will cause a decrease on valve lift, when the lifters pushes up against the pushrod it will compress the air and lessen the lift.
just installed fueling race lifters in my 160 HP m8 1 is making some noise
trying to figure it out now.good video
Thanks for watching. Good luck, hopefully it’s something simple.
you need adjustable pushrods to find out what solid pushrods you need. 😁
I believe Fueling lifters are made by Hylift Johnson, but not totally sure. What is your opinion on the Hylift Johnson's?
great info Tony keep em coming
We've got lots more coming!
Great video! Nice info!
Thanks for watching!
What wears lifters out
What’s your opinion on the screaming eagle adjustable, I’ve read a lot of good things about there adjustable s compared to others, S&S just seem to thin and cheap.
They are actually a very nice pushrod as well.
Great knowledge, installed S&S quickies in my M8 at 3 1/2 turns. Is that too little for the adjustment?
Guy at s&s told me 3 turns and one flat is perfect for quikie pushrods. I did 3.5 turns on mine though. It worked perfect.
I personally installed the S&S cam chest kit in my 2017 SGS I used a U-tube video to do the work. 10k miles later, it’s still running great.
If the goal is .100, four turns is to much.

Do you think premium lifters with adjustable rods would eliminate my Twin Cam tick?
Yes, a good quality lifter and pushrod will help in quieting down the valve train.
Thank you very much. That was very informative. I am I understood it all perfectly. Did a great job.
