Can shop#1 get the imbedded lifters out of the top of their parts counter yet ?I guess the h.d. dealer got it figured out. shop #1 put in a lifter set that has a limited bleed down to help with compression. along with the easy start cam. then used my stock push rod tubes with crane adjustable push rods. this is a bad combination and caused a lot of problems.
shop # 2 got I figured out. put in se lifters and push rods . started right up. funny how that happens when you know your stuff.
