Tappet sources?
Other than Ebay, anyone know who would have the best deal - on oem Harley roller tappets for our Evo's? I believe there are two different types, don't know what the difference is between the two (maybe just years offered)?
I am gathering all the parts etc, to swap in an EV27 cam. My 97 Road King has 28K on it, and some folks have told me I can reuse the tappets. On a new cam, I figured I better go with new tappets. The push rods I will be using are new Andrews adjustable.

Spanner39,
Thanks for the quick reply and link! Looks as if they have a distributor in Chicago. I'll have to stop by, and pick up some tappets! Thanks again : )
Oh; one more question - should I also replace the tappet blocks, when installing the new tappets. Or; reuse the tappet blocks with 28K on them - if they are in good shape?

You will also be changing the dreaded block gaskets for new and with a chance to seal them with a gasket sealer , you wont have to worry about this
common leak problem.

Johnson lifters
I used them at Spanners suggestion and they fit very well and worked after a few miles on the road. They are now in their second week and even with all the trouble I had with my adjustable pushrods the lifters are doing great.
