Engine Mechanical TopicsDiscussion for motor builds, cams, head work, stripped bolts and other engine related issues. The good and the bad. If it goes round and around or up and down, post it here.
I am going to change the cams in my 09 FLHTC. I will change to the S&S lifters and pushrods. That brings the first question. Anti rotation pins? Will the new S&S lifters come with them? Should I order new ones to have on hand? The next questions. Is there a place to rent/beg/borrow/steal a cam bearing puller/installer? The cam locking tool? The bike has 36K miles. I will replace the cam tensioners while I am at it. Is there anything else to look at while I am in that part of the motor?
My list of stuff. Am I missing anything?
Exhaust gaskets
Oil pump O rings
Lifter cover gaskets
Cam cover gasket
S&S adjustable pushrod kit, Includes new covers, O rings, Cover gaskets.
48H cams with bearings
Assy lube
Inner and outer tensioners
Blue and red Lok Tite
I would also suggest the motion pro pushrod cover tool. Getting them off is easy but prying them down to place the top piece on is a little bit of a head ach. I have done it both ways but the tool is 17 dollars and worth it.

yeah, the flathead scew driver/ fin method can be a pain.
