Working on a friends 2000, 95 CI FLHTC. He bought it with the 95 in it.
It was ticking out of the blue one day so we replaced the lifters and hydraulic tensioners. Still was ticking so tore it back down and put in a feuling oil pump.
All is fine until it gets warm then it starts ticking again. We are using 20w-50 Amsoil. Is it possible the Amsoil is to slippery? Has anyone run a thicker oil than 20w-50?

 

Pretty common for the TC88 to tick with synthetic oil,mine does and so does my buddys.I switched to Mobil 1 and it doesn't tick as loud but I still hear it

 

bump........

 

Redline 20W60 or a straight weight.
