Put new Johnson lifter in my Evo because I was getting a little chatter from the S.E. lifters unknown miles. These things sound like they are not getting oil. Instructions are 3 turns out after zero lash. Quickee pushrods .Fired it up let run for about 2 minutes the sound didn't decrease. What's the amount of time these things should quiet down ?

 

Did you soak them in oil before installing them? I put a cam and New S&S lifters in mine and they were quiet pretty much from start up. I'm thinking they should have pumped up right away. If it ran for two mins and still chattered them somethings wrong. Did you put the lifter block gasket on right? There is an oil feed hole in it. (I'm not sure if you can even put it on wrong?) giving the shape if it

 

I used the lifter alignment tool and made sure the hole was not covered.i soaked them in oil overnight as well

 

Ok just trying to help. New pushrods? Because if there hitting it will sound like bad lifters to
..

 

Yes new pushrods I will need to tear it down again and take a peek. Good thing it doesn't take long

 

If you willing to fire it up again, Start it and grab the pushrod tubes and push them around a bit and you will feel it.. I had that problem with the HD screamin eagle EZ Install rods. Ended up getting the primo rivera taper lites. problem solved

 

OK thanks for your help. Before. I start over that would be a good idea.!

 

I had the same problem with a set of s&s quickies. Had to shorten my inner pushrod tubes a little.

 

Re started couldn't feel any tapping from the pushrods so next step,is to unassemble and see if I somehow blocked the oil passage

 

Are they directional? And are the pushrods hitting the inside of the tubes?
