On my 78 it was pushing oil out of the first lifter guide, so I took it apart and it was broken in 3 pieces. What would cause this ? Does any one have a extra they would sell to me.

Thanks

I don't have any I could sell you, but the only thing I could think of that would cause this would be that the pushrod was just really loose at one point and the lifter turned when it was lifting breaking off pieces of the guide.

This guy here has some for sale on ebay. They look brand new and they are only going for $22 at the moment.

Yep those are the ones I am bidding on.

Thanks

 

Were you high bidder,if not I could spare 1.

 

I wasnt around for the end I really didnt want to pay that much since I only need the one. I guess having a spare wouldnt be a bad idea since I really could use a spare now !!! but Oh well.

 

Sounds good let me know how much you want for it and how you want the funds. If you want to do a paypal deal send me an invoice to loanshrk777@aol.com. I will pay ASAP not being able to ride sucks since the weather in Chi-town has been aswome the last couple of days

Thanks

 

better replace the tappet also as the roller could be damaged or shot also check the rest there should be little or no play also check the roller bearings as they could be shot also

 

Left you my email and phone.

 

Hey 72 XLH,

Sorry i didnt get back to you my local shop had a used one I picked up for 25 bucks and has it turns out the bike had oversize lifters, so I had to buy a new lifter as well which he also had for only 15 bucks. So again thanks for the offer but I am all good and back on the road.
