Lifter noise

(1/2) > >>

Hi, 2003 Road King CVO 100,000 mi slight ticking at first, then within a minute much louder , shut it down, no metal in the cam case, I had installed new Feuling hydraulic tensioners already ,any ideas ??

d3v1ld0g:
Did you change the lifters? What about the cam bearings?

michaeld:
Yes, but havn't started it yet, still putting it back together !
Bearings look good, and no metal bits anywhere, very clean cam chest, and I believe the lifters were the originals !

d3v1ld0g:
If the lifters have 100,000 miles, I would try to buy the same ones again :D. People on this site change them every 20,000-30,000 miles

michaeld:
Back together now and ran it for 20 min on the lift (with a fan ), so far so good. test ride next ! Thanks for the observations .
