Default Fueling lifters

Anyone using them with a stock oil pump and Baisley spring? I still have more valve clatter than I like and was wondering if the Fueling lifters would be a good choice to lessen the noise. Thanks.....

I am not sure if this is of help or not, but I remember reading something about a new spring for the oil pump, that will boost the oil presure up.

[:@]My opinon on Fueling is stay away because of poor quality control issues. I had 2 Fueling pumps fail due to workmanship issues. I took out my Fueling pump and lifters and went back to O.E. Harley and have not sincehad a problem.

He's already got the "spring", which, BTW, goes in the cam support plate, not the oil pump.

I am sure that yours is MUCH quieter than mine. I have been all in the engine in mine and it is 10 times louder than stock.

Nogood... I've used Fueling lifters in many builds and never had a problem, with lifters or pumps for that matter. I have not used them with the stock pump though.

Someone had posted something about the lifters AMS sells a while back I and I went & read about them & they sounded interesting.

During my most recent HQ build, I went ahead and got a set of the AMS lifters and they seem to be A-OK. My cams are .580 on the intake side & even w/ stock rockers, it sounds as good as most stock motors & better then many.

Worth a look... http://www.automotivemachine.com/harley.htm
