110 lifter failure, recommendations on RELIABLE build
Jbbrown73:
The 110 has given it up after a measly 32k. Since it's got to come apart I want it put back together in a configuration that I don't want to have to worry about for about 60,000 miles at least. Can I get some recommendations on a good build that's reliable and makes good power and torque. I am thinking 117 build. What's opinions on gear drive cams, head work, etc...? The majority of the miles are highway at 80+. I also pull a trailer some times, so torque is important. I am rarely over 4k RPM so I don't need horsepower at super high rpm. It's a Road Glide Ultra so it's a heavy bike. It's a wet head so I know that creates some limitations.

I went with screamin eagle 117 kit with the redshift 587. Made sure the foundation was s&s flywheel. Lots of torque.

Out of curiosity, which is the cause of the failure the lifter or cam?

Haven't taken apart yet. It's above my abilities, so it will be going to S&S Speed Shop in metro East STL for the work. It's still running, just making a hell of a racket, so I hope it's not come completely apart and sent metal through the entire engine.

Generally the roller of the lifter fails.
