I understand about the budget, but you have the cam chest open already. Get it all done and go ride without any worries.

That cam plate and oil pump look great. However, if you do want to upgrade to the new hydraulic cam chain tensioner set up, I do believe you need to buy a new cam plate with With new hydraulic tensioner’s. I’ve been told by two builders on my endeavors throughout learning how to work on Harley Davidsons, when they build a motor, they always use a fresh oil pump. Don’t know why, just relaying what I’ve been told
