How many 117 upgrades are adding a new Cam plate and oil pump?
« on: April 03, 2018, 08:00:12 PM »
 After mulling it over I’ve finally ordered my 117 kit. Have not had any problems with oil pressure, but considering replacing stock with Zippers, or S&S, or Screamin Eagle. Wondering what the consensuses on doing this while you’re in there?

My stock rockers had some wear and so did valve stems. Mechanic said he believed it was due to top end oil pressure and had a jig to check pressure at cam plate when disassembled. He recommended zippers spring that goes in cam plate. I also hadmto buy new rocker arms.

I changed mine out for the S&S Cam Plate and Oil Pump along with S&S Tensioners, I figures since I was in there and my 2013 CVO had 71,000 miles I may as well do it, I also checked my run out and that was only .03 so the lower end was good
