I have been reading all the posts about lifter issues, It appears that most of these issues seem to occur post 2009. Are the lifters suspect in the 2007 and/or 2008 model years as well? I am well aware of all of the other issues in these years, just trying to obtain info on the lifters. I am pretty sure that these were the "B" lifters in 2007 and 2008. Please feel free to correct me if I am in error! Thanks Guys, Any help is appreciated!!
I have 103,000 miles on my 08 Ultra CVO - here is my lifter story:
At 40,371 miles, I had to replace the lifters. P/N 18538-99B went in Nov, 2010. Done in warranty.
At 101,361 miles, I had to replace the lifters. -99C lifters went in Jan, 2014; also replaced cams with same SE255, oil pump, and chain tensioners. Work was done at no charge by dealer. Am now at 103,000+, very quiet motor so far.
Note I still have the original lifter blocks.
