I know it would take me a good 6hrs. I like the adjustables for the ease of goin back in there w/o doing the boxes if needed. I was thinking like a contractor, putting a guy on it for the day, lol. If you already have the FSM, and a good set of basic tools, why not give it a try?We can help,too.

MJHJEA,
Although it took me nearly 9 months to do, with the help of the folks here, I just completed a top end rebuild of my '93 Ultra. That included; New gaskets (Cometics), new valves, new lifters, new cam, new cam bearing, new piston rings, new wrist pins, cylinder hone, cylinder base resurfacing and carburetor re-jetting. If I had all the parts...and all the tools, don't forget the special tools...ahead of time, I'm guessing that I could have gotten it done in less than a week.

Hey guys, just a quick question here. My 95 Heritage needs new lifters, and the job is beyond my mechanical abilities. About how much am I looking at for parts, and labor costs? Just a ballpark estimate for decent quality parts and good shop handling the job. Wanted to get a good idea before I talk to anyone. Thanks

My thoughts exactly!
When I said a week, by the way, that was because I would never be able to get 6 hours of uninterrupted garage time!
