Getting some lifter chatter on my 2012 SE3. I may do the replacement my self and not use the extended warranty.  Which lifters should I go with?

Woods, S&S, Fueling?

GMR has lifters as well. At a good price as well I hear. Haven't tried either yet myself. In case anyone wants to know the Jim's lifters are really noisy. Funny to me was when The lady at Jim's called me and stated,  "We noticed the lifters were not the ones we shipped the motor with and asked why. I said a well known HD dealer that sells and tweaks your motors told me if you don't do anything else change out the lifters to HD B's. She asked why. I said they said to noisy and we don't trust them. She just said fair enough.

thanks guys, the GMR lifters are 180.  There are different versions of s&s, do I want the premium?

S&S Premiums are money well spent. Quietest I've ever used.

So far the HD 2013up SE lifters are holding up.
I will do a leakdown test of some used ones VS our Delphi premium lifters and report the results after vacation.

I thought it  was the 2013 lifters that were giving  problems.

NOPE,
That would be 2011-2012 lifters that are troublemakers
The 18572-13 lifter is improved over the past 18635-99C lifters and listed for the 2014MY
The confusing part is the parts microfich for the 2013 MY shows 18635-99B lifters.
My 10/2012 built 2013 CVO RK had Delphi lifters not the 18572-13 and full compliment inner cam bearings
Maybe Jerry can clarify.

Post revised my CVO year added and build date corrected

+1 more for S&S Premium Lifters

Haven't had any issues with those either. They test the same as GMRs or the Delphis I sell. Leak .125" in 15-17 seconds when tested with kerosene, Kent Moore J-5790 tool. The -C lifters (used) bleed so fast in that test basically just spring pressure is all that is slowing it.

Wow 11 and 12

I changed out my 2012 lifters which were noisy and put in the S&S premium, it's dead quiet now.
