Been there, done that.
I've read thru many threads and have searched "lifters" & Evo lifters. Some good info in there but all I kept reading was when one should change them, which way to have oil holes facing upon installation, if one could change lifters only without cam, etc etc. My scoot is a 1994 I bought used with 60K on the ticker. I have No service history for the bike. I've read that it's a good idea to change lifters around 30k. Especially on older Evo's. I have no idea if they were ever done. I could be running Pre "B" type HD lifters (makes me cringe just thinking about it). I have never even seen a HD lifter. Does it look like one of those components your wondering to yourself (wow this thing looks a lil flimsy or cheap). Are the new HD ones good now? I'm looking for some input on what brand of lifter people are using. The Jims look pretty beefy, Crane's seems to have a more recessed roller (is that good or bad?) I'm just looking for a little consensus.
I plan on adding a EV27 or EV46 with adjustable pushrods and cam bearing while I have it apart.
thanks, Pete
