Cool. What you looking at for lifters? S&S, Gaterman, Woods?

Because I am just out of college and broke trying to pay college loans...how fun...I have been doing a lot of reading and found out that Crane makes the lifters for Harley...from what I have researched cranes 10530 lifter was just given a new part number for Harley. Some guys are worried about different bleed down rates, and others have run them and praise them...think I am going to give them a shot. The first link is a thread about them. The second link is to the part on jegs. This wouldn't be the first time Harley has tapped into the automotive world for their parts... Change the part number to be associated with Harley and exponentially increase your profit...

Let me know what you think!

Yes. Its basicly an LS1 lifter with an enlarged oil hole in the pushrod cup. Crane would be the less expensive option. I went with the woods.

I also picked up a PDF version of the service manual for $5 online! Its a complete manual with very clear pictures! I plan on just printing off the sections I need and starting a binder...

Could you post a link for the PDF version of the service manual ? My HD manual is getting tattered and worn out !

Thanks !
