Installing New Cams, need anything else?

Going to install new cams in a 2014 Breakout with 3200 KM's (2000 miles). Going to use the S&S Install Kit that includes the new inner
bearings and oil pump o-rings. Do you guys think I should look at replacing anything else while I am in there? Watched the S&S Cam Install Video
and they did not appear to replace anything else during the cam change with a low milage bike. Thanks.........

Lifters would be a good idea while you are there, the newer OE ones do not have the best reputation...

Damn, that is one thing I was hoping that was not going to be suggested. I invested the extra for the S&S Quickee Pushrods so I wouldn't
have to take apart anything on the top end or remove the tappet blocks.

While your in there, change those lifters...s&s standards are a good choice. Adjusted to .140 or 27 flats.. Do it once and you wont have to go back in.

removing the lifter blocks is no big deal, as they dont require the special alignment tool like the evos did. what cams are you installing?

Yes, I noticed that it is a reoccurring theme. Purchased a set if S&S Performance Tappets today. Also got a set of S&S Cam Chain Tensioners. Figured for the
little extra coin I might as well do them too.

I am going with a set of SE 204's. I might have to pick up a pair of the Tappet Block Gaskets. Some pictures I see of the S&S 106-6051 Quickee Pushrod & Cover Set
shows the Tappet Block Gaskets included and some pictures don't show them included.
