part 3 harley lifter tick noise myths soak or not to pump bleed hydraulic evo tc s&s tatro machine 

Hehe good that you left the part in the video where you were searching the plunger. Losing parts when they are right in front of me happens to me all the freaking time.

In my many years of experience with evo and twin cam, Johnson Lifters made all quiet! No exceptions!

If you had a drill press , and a small vice , you could use the vice to hold the lifter and chuck the push rod up in the chuck and use the push rod adjustment a little at a time to bleed the lifter piston down to just get the snap ring in the top of the lifter , or set the lifter in the motor block and do the same thing with the push rod adjustment , after filling the lifter body half or more with oil and fill the piston all the way full of oil , then bleed the piston down with the push rod just enough to force the snap ring in the top and no further, its the only way to bleed every bit of air out to the point of pressure , and you can not bleed a lifter by hand it takes pressure , how much steady pressure does a valve spring have . Late 60`s and on , Some lifters adjust on zero , some 1 turn down from zero , some so many thousands off the bottom , we use to adjust 350`s 1 and 2 turns off the bottom more vacuum you could really hear that old quadrajet then , years ago you put the lifters in adjusted them and done . The point is >>>>> no matter how you adjust the lifters as long as they have a small amount of travel they are suppose to bleed and hold pressure enough to keep the slack/pecking from happening , thats what they are made for , ( without doing what I had to do above to get mine to work) Tatro has proven beyond any doubt how defective lifters act and how many are out there ............

On the magnet, I’m sure you’ll relize it once I press play again 😂

I am kinda tempted to pick up a 1998-2003 sportster xl1200s sport. It came stock with hotter cams, bumped up compression, dual spark plug heads, adjustable front and rear suspension and dual front discs brakes. Seems like a decent machine. Any thoughts on this motorcycle, Tatro or anyone?

Hey Tatro, what do you think about just removing the travel limitesr from the S&S lifters??? I have just finished restoring my FXR with 10:1 wiseco pistons and a EV46 cam, so nothing to wild im just waiting on new carb inlet fittings so havent started it up yet . I bought new S&S lifters with the travel limiters as i was recommended to do, but i have since found that i didnt need these travel limiters and that they seem to be a noisy pain in the arse and difficult to adjust correctly. So im considering to just remove the travel limiters and use them as stock S&Slifters, You think that could be a good option??? Also do you have mikuni HSR42 carbs for sale?

So what's a person to do? Keep sending them back until you ge a good set? If I'm correct, soaking them does no good either?

You put your hand on it lol

Why not use solid lifters? I think it would solve this problem.

Its stuck to the magnet Put ur finger over the hole in the lifter
