Good Morning Guys I'm installing Andrews 48H cams in the spring in my 08 Ultra Classic, I'm confused on choosing lifters. I'm leaning towards adjustable SE pushrods. I know the SE adjustables had a nut problem but understand that has been resolved. Need HELP with expereince on lifters. Thanks

I am using Rivera Primo Taper-Lite Adjustable Pushrods and Crane lifters p/n 10530-2.
Not to hi-jack......but aren't those Small Block Chevy lifters? Heard they can be used in Twinkies but the oil metering was questionable. Not looking to start a debate.......just wondering

Yes, Chevy lifters will work. I've read that travel limiters should be put in them, but I don't know the details.

Chevy lifters will cut your oil volume by 25 to30%. The hole in the cup is. 060 to. 070. Hd litters are. 090. I ordered some from crane in Memphis supposedly to fit a harley's. I had the guy caliper the holes while on the phone. He said they were about 80 thousands. I ordered them and they are 1/16. They are in a box never to be used. Yeah they were inexpensive and useless to me.

Over 25k and no problems. No rises in oil pressure. She runs quite and I don't baby her. Of course what works for one may not be acceptable to another.

I have SE adjustable lifters in my bike. I have about 1,000 miles on them and so far not a problem. Installed when I went with SE255 cams.
There's a company in Ft.Worth called AMS. I'm using their lifters. They work great!!!!
