Cam questions
I am putting in a set of 203's in my bagger, and had a couple of questions about the parts needed. Originally I had planned to just replace the cams and the pushrods, but then I was told to also replace the valve springs with straight double coil set, and replace the tappets. Is this nesc? It really increase the cost of the parts.
The parts I am looking at are:
25937-99b - cams
18273-00 - valve springs
17997-99a - ajustable push rods
18562-02 - tappets
Thanks
Joe

RE: Cam questions
It's probably not a bad idea to repalce the lifters. For 203's, you don;t "have to" use adjustable puchrods, but it saves from having to remove the rocker covers and rocker assy's and re-install.
For that bagger, you might wanna take a look at the Andrews 26's. You'd be a whole bunch happier with the results.
Springs.... not necessary for a "bolt-in" cam.

RE: Cam questions
my stock springs are still in mine,i've had no problems. wish i had gone with the adjustable push rods,but the funds didnt allow it at the time,should it need work i'll have them changed out then to save on tearing into the top end again and of coarse the labor rate too
