Has anyone had any issues with zippers redshift cams and lifters failing? I have the zippers redshift 575 gear driven cams, zippers push rods, valve springs in my 05 screeming eagle electric glide, along with zippers 50m throttlebody/manifold, thundermax closeloop system, super air cleaner, and the D and D fatcat. Not a huge performance upgrade but I thought a safe performance enhancement. Cams went flat and rollers on the lifters chip away, all resulting in glittler like material destorying my oil pump, scarring the bore in the casing, filtering through the engine and who no's what the h--l else. Its a flippin mess. Left me stranded 900 miles from home and two extra days trying to figure out how to get home. After four different HD Technicians at two different HD dealerships evaluating this, their conclusions were failed cams or lifters that started the change reaction. Is that just the way it is or sorry bad luck? Can't seem to get any call backs or customer service from zippers. What does a guy do now? So far I'm wishing I could ride like everybody. Thanks for any response.

 

Was the crank runout checked for spec prior to the gear cam install?

 

I ran the 575 redshift cams, with Feuling lifters, feuling oil pump, Feuling springs.
Baisley heads,Baisley roller rockers in my 07 Fatboy, 103 build, D&D Pipe.

I had a lifter start to go bad and had to replace lifters and the cams when I traded it in on my RKC.

Sorry to hear about your circumstance.

 

Thanks for your response, Yes the crank runout was checked for spec prior to the gear cam install. Has anyone heard that lifters need to be replaced every 20,000 miles?

 

After installing zippers redshift 575 gear cams, lifters and push rods, has anyone had to replace their lifters after 20,000 miles, and/or a new set of cams?
