TOTALLY different.
The cam has end float. Therefore.........
You could never definitively say that the centre of the roller is aligned with the centre of the cam lobe. AS IT MOVES.
AND IT DOES NOT MATTER. AS LONG AS IT IS PARALLEL.
Forget HD specs.
They are there to reduce production costs.
0.010 is not tight. 0.015 IS LOOSE.
You need to get an understanding of the mechanical principles involved here.
Not just a familiarization of HD specs.

As there is no absolute need to remove lifter blocks to fit an ev 27 in this model, any end-play checking method that requires that is useless.
That method was only valid at a time when dial gauges were expensive, and home mechanics did not have them. THAT IS LONG AGO.
No one can see a lifter pump up. What do you imagine you are looking at. It has an internal spring. You can see nothing.
Groannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.... you are off beam in every dept

Also, how do you figure .015 is to loose ? what, all the sudden cases and the nose cone bushing dont grow anymore when they reach operating temps ? there has to be room for expansion. if your going to disagree, please do it objectively and in a intelligent manner.

That is not what you do.
I have clearly explained this.
If you are looking to challenge me, then stick to mechanical principles.
You need a dictionary. You do understand the meaning of "objective" and "intelligent".
I have also explained regarding endplay.
It is as if you cannot read.

I can see where this is going. You have already insulted other members on the Sportster threads and here as well. I refuse to play any further. After 40 years of building everything from flatties to TC's, I've never had a comeback due to poor workmanship, But you apparently know it all. That said, sorry guys including those I've helped in the past. I'm out of here as apparently I have nothing more to offer.
