I thought thingamaboobs were on a 92 year old stripper?

Or is that thingamamawboobs?

Yes!  To all of it.....

  Truth! I violated the cardinal rule of thingamabob up and down thingies.  So, had a failed lifter and we all know the driver of the lifter failures are due to stiff springs in the 110's. So, head work was inevitable. He took it apart, and the lifter had not come apart so all was good in the world, no engine damage. So heads went out and got ported/polished with new valves, guides and springs. Jugs were punched out .010 so it's now roughly a 111-112. New pistons of course plus new push rods and lifters. I already had a Kury 24D cam that was installed about 6 months after I bought the bike. It was in perfect shape and worked with the goal of the build so it got new bearings and left it in place. Also put in a new high volume oil pump since it was apart. Crank runout was very good so didn't do any bottom end work. Went with a D&D fatcat exhaust and the flow numbers of the heads made it necessary to go to a 58mm throttle body. It has a nice somewhat angry exhaust note and little to no valve train noise so I believe the goal was met. It's got 32k on it, so if I can make 100k without having to get back in it I'll be very happy.

Thanks for the update Pal

I was starting to think Me and Twolane were gonna have be censored and end up in CVO jail if we went much farther.

I'm glad it didn't wipe out the cam cause them 24Ds is getting hard to find,  like bigfoot riding a unicorn.
I bet you will be very pleased with the performance once you get a chance to air it out.

That's what she said.

I am shipping lifters daily, the Morels work quite well.

That’s a very nice dyno sheet Jrbrown, and happy it all worked out for you.  100 lb/tq Fromm 2,000 rpm is a beautiful thing...👍👍. Ride safe and enjoy.

I think its time now to do a little bit of maintenance on my King.

I now have about 23000 mi on my King (and 15000 mi with the 117 cui conversion).

Is it time to do proactive replacement of the lifters / tappets?

What do you think of them: JIMs POWERGLIDE™ steady roll tappets for 99- Twin Cam. They have brass liners instead of needle bearings?

Or is it better to use others tappets?

Thank you for your reply and your opinions.

Run away from the Jim’s. They have bad bleed down.
