hi guys,
im fairly new to this site so im sorry if this sounds silly.
The hydraulic lifters in my old VL are on the way out and i think im going to have to replace them. they make alot of noise when i kick her over and continue to do so whilst under power aswell. the odd thing about the noise is that it seems to get louder in waves going from a dull tapping to a very loud tapping.
the VL has a Crower cam in it which would have chewed through the lifters.
i ran lifter cleaner through it last service to see if it would improve but this was to no avail. i also went to a holden dealership and asked them about it and said to always use 10/40w oil cause its abit thinner and wont sludge up as much as 20/50w. im not sure if this is true or not.
anyway long story short does anyone reccommend any brand of lifters that wont be destroyed by the after market cam?
and does anyone have any insight into why my lifters make noise in waves?
thanks heaps guys.
sorry if this was abit confusing.
