hi folks,

maybe someone in here can help me out with some infos.

i got 2013 CVO RG wich was serviced at the dealership due to strange engine noise.

they changed the oilpump, lifters, bearings, pushrods on warranty.

after another 15 k miles the engine totally broke down.

from what i heard the lifters where changed in 2013 to a SE version.

it might have been the case that the dealership put in some older regular lifters and bearings.

is there any way, i can tell the older lifters and bearings from the 2013 and up SE lifters ?

thanx in advance for your help.

The difference in the lifters is in the size and capacity of the roller bearings.  See the attached photo, the new lifter is on top.  And btw, plenty of those have failed since 2013 so it wasn't an effective "fix" anyway.

I know personally 3 bikes that were a 2014 CVO Limited and two 2015 CVO Road Glide Ultras that had failed lifters.
