Still an unanswered question...yeah...how does that happen at 20K miles on a stock motor, not abused and well taken care of (I don't floor it in 6th gear at 1,100 RPM's kind of care).
That question has been asked and answered many times over the years. HD's answer = "they all do that"
[/quote]I'm assuming (hoping) the lifters that are failing, but have not yet failed (imploded my motor), will be covered under my ESP. Hoping the same for the compensator. Talked to my dealer today, assuming my warranty covers a rebuild, i've asked them to upgrade the lifters to S&S and, upgrade anything else that might be more prone to failure in stock form.[/quote]
With metal shavings on the CPS I fear you may need a whole lot more than new lifters, an oil change and cleaning the oil pan which might be the extent of the ESP authorized repair.
[/quote]Besides lifters, anything else to replace/change while in there to extend the life of this motor?[/quote]
To truly extend the life of the 110 is going to take thousands of dollars to rebuild/upgrade it - or just make a coffee table out of it and install a complete aftermarket engine..
Unfortunately even if in the future you change lifters every 15 -20 thousand miles there's no way to know when your next vacation will be ruined. This may all sound like sour grapes - and perhaps it is - but I had to many vacations interrupted by my 110 until it was 1 vacation to many and I parted ways with it.
