Well, to the tune of $500.00+ dollars, he replaced the lifters and added adjustable pushrods...no difference in the clicking! He showed me the lifters when I came to pick up the bike...they didn't seem worn to me and I've built v-8's enough to know what wear looks like. Sooooo, I live and learn...
$500.00.....you must have bought the hydro sloids....they are the loudest lifter made. The spring is only $12.50, try it, what do you have to loose?
If you have the hydro solids I'd get rid of them and put my stock lifters back in or a set of the S/E lifters for high performance engines.
