Feuling Camplate/Oil Pump vs OEM : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

I'd like to hear your thoughts/opinions on OEM Oil Pump and Camplate versus Feuling. Upon tear-down of my motor, we discovered that my oil pump and camplate have some scoring from excessive crank run-out. It's not really severe, but since we're already this far into it, I'm considering replacing them. So, my question is: Is Feuling worth the extra $$$? The best prices that I've found on Feuling is $653 + shipping (for both items). OEM is $221.

No, we use oem's on 147 and 155" TC engines, have for years.

Up grade to the `07 cam plate and oil pump if you have an earlier model.

I have the SE billet cam plate and the feuling pump for my future build.. Guess I wasted some money...

i think the oem plate and pump are great, i think less of fueling.

I like the OEM plate, and the Fueling pump. The Fueling pump does not use wavy washers and still uses an o-ring to seal to the pump to the plate.... Have used them a few times and never had any problem.

Hard to believe that the MOCO makes an oil pump that is well-liked. Guess I'll go back with OEM pieces, and save the extra $400.
