urns - 18 the thread determines the amount of turns down - 18 24 32 48 threads per inch all have different adjustments - picture up the push rods you now have so we can see if they are stock

S&S had sold shovel copys of oem lifters dont know for sure they still do
I have used the china ones from v twin and so far they have held up in bikes being ridden 3 or 4 years
the v twin ones use a peddle valve like a evo or two cam lifter and are one piece and fit with oem push rods

but they might have drilled the cross holes to the bottom to open the drains to rid the tubes of excess oil - we 8/32 those and drill the centers of the socket head screws to go back to keeping the oil in the block for the hyd lifters
