Default SE 110" changing camshafts

HI,
I'm going to replace the stock SE-255 cams to RedShift RS587 on my Softail Sim S 2016. I have camshafts, 2313SE lifters from Larrys, Feuling 2077 camshaft inner bearings and Screamin Eagle adjustable pushrods.
Is there anything else I might need to change while I'm doing this job? (Odometer about 10000 miles).
Thanks
Fredrik

Beehive springs and headwork is my recommendation.

If your removing the heads to do the springs, you should at the least have the valves and seats touched up along with a .030" Cometic MLS head gasket.. If you do that then you will definitely need to replace the cylinder base O-ring..

Can you use the stock pushrods if you are reducing the head gasket from .045. To .027 when yr base circle is .020 less on the. Andrew’s 57h vs the stock 255?

Yes you can use the stock OEM pushrods, it should put your preload to approximately .138".. which is a good preload setting..

I should have posted this along with my last post, I used to set preload to .140" but no longer do.. .125" is a good common setting for most street applications.. Although it's assumed that the MOCO setups up they're motors with roughly .100" preload you won't know that for sure unless you measure everything.. This is why I prefer adjustable pushrods rods because I know where I'm at.. Your just guesstimating otherwise..
