I've been looking at as many discussions as possible but I'm wondering if anyone can weigh in here? I inspected my cam chain tensioners (37K) and sure enough, both are worn with the outside one beginning to come apart. Luckily no damage done. I'm either just doing the tensioners or everything including mild cam upgrade. My question is what's the consensus regarding an all inclusive kit? What kit do you prefer for bearings, adjustable rods, lifters, cams and eliminating the tensioners? I want adjustable rods because, like a fool, I changed my rocker boxes out before I checked my tensioners.( I know, I'm a DOPE) I'm sure this has been hashed to death elsewhere but I just can't find good info on complete kits. Thanks in advance!

 

oops, forgot. 2002 Road King Classic with K&N, jackpots and power commander

 

change the inner bearings (Torrington B 148's), and use Cyco shoes on your existing shoes to save a few bucks. Cam upgrade would be either an Andrews 21 or26 or S&S 509 or 510. at 37k, I would get new Johnson Hi-Lifts to replace your lifters. All in....should be somewhere round $350-400 from Egay or one of our sponsors on here

 

Wow that sounds better than the 1.5 to 1.8k "all in" kits I'm seeing. Thanks for suggestion. Def going to use the 509 or similar cams.

 

Andrews 21's or S&S .509's are the 2 best plug/play 88"/OE compression cams currently available.

 

Hillside and djl both recommended the 509 kit, so that,s what I went with using S&S standard lifters and adjustable pushrods. I used the gear drive cams after checking crank run-out. No more chain tensioners concerns.

 

S&S 509, Cyco Shoe Tensioners, S&S adjustable pushrods(if I coud do it over I would get the Quickees), S&S Standard Lifters. Thats what I used on my 01 MM EFI road glide and a PC-V

 

If I were doing it over , I would use the S&S .509 . That's the cam I was originally going to put in , but my indy talked me into .510 cams.
I find the .510 a little soft below 2800 or so. It has definitely improve pick up everywhere , especially passing on the highway , but I was looking for more right off idle.
