Is there a problem with H-D lifters? I Have not read too many posts on lifters failing and off hand I don't know anyone who has had a lifter fail in the last several years, not saying it does not happen as any part has the potential to fail.
I hope it is nothing serious.

Yeah I'm going to wait and see what it turns out to be. But I do want to start doing research on what could of caused this to happen. And yes I'm running adj.pushrods. We won't know for sure until he tears it down, but it was my tuner/builder that first mentioned the lifters, but that was only a guess. I have heard of lifters failing before and the outcome wasn't pretty. Anything from just replacing the lifters themselves to a total teardown and rebuild. Lets hope thats not the case and it's a easy fix!

Maybe it is just the push rod, seems I read a post not too long ago where someone had the same type symptom and the push rod had loosened up. I don't think there was any damage.
