I used Fueling pump & lifters in my last 95" motor & they worked very well.

Didn't want to bash Feuling in my earlier post, but I had a set in the SEEG and one of the lifter axles failed. Had to replace cams, lifters, pushrods. AFterward it occurred to me that I was a dumb ass for using a $20 part in such an important place. I love the pump and generally think Feuling makes a good product, but I would never use their lifters again. I understand that the same manufacturer makes Harley and Fueling lifters, but I believe the SE lifters are much stronger.

SO all you guys who have these lifters in you bikes.....watch out!!!!1

PCC,

I do not know when you bought the Feuling Lifters you had problems with, however a few years ago (old style lifters) had problems. Feuling quit making them and introduced the newer styel.

Some one got a hold of the old series and people like Smok and Flames were selling them on Ebay, and some had nothing but problems with the.

I know this as I was one of the many who did purchase from Smoke and Flames, I found out about the problem on the HTT (Harley Tech Talk) website as others were having the same problems as you mentioned. Luckily I had not installed them yet.

I got a hold of Feuling, they confirmed that Smoke and Flames were not an authorized distributor and somehow got a bunch of the discontinued lifters and were selling on Ebay. They requested I send the faulty lifters to them (Feuling), which I did and they sent me N/C a new set, I never did have any problems with the Feuling Lifters and feuling Oil Pump in my 95" build c/w SE Heads and SE 251 Cams.

Talk about customer service.

I hope they get the problems of the death of the founder out of the way and get back to building and selling parts,

If you want assurance buy the JIMS lifters best on the market!!! [smiley=7.gif]

Feuling will tell U to use the feuling push rods and oil pump in conjunction to the lifters because of the increased oil flow.  Apparently they feel that Harley puts out a rather shakey head design for stock oiling.
