What is that valve rocker bushing fix for Twin Cams?
 
I remember seeing something about a guy that figured out why the valves make so much noise. He sells some sort of bushing that keeps the rocker from making a ton of noise.

Anyone remember this?

I bought the Rockout kit here:

They seem to work, I just installed a set, along with 57H cams and fueling lifters. With any luck the 110" will be cooler and quieter.

Hello,

That was me that figured it out. I have a kit available at the links below that will stop that tapping in it's tracks. Here's another thread about the results...

And a quote from there...

"I had been telling the tech I use at the dealer about the Rockouts. So when I had my bike in there for some work I had him install the Rockouts. The ticking is gone and when the service manager walked by my bike as it was running he stopped and said my bike was the most quiet he had ever heard. Had the tech order some for his bike. In fact I think he said he ordered a set of 10. I have to agree. None of my previous Harleys were this quiet. FWIW I'm running Woods TW 777 cams and the valve train sounds like a well oiled sewing machine."

Try it, you'll like it.

Thanks. I'll do this when I change cams.
