Whats the verdict on the S&S lifters ,Good, Bad , ugly,? I'm putting some in my 86 fxr, & Is anybody using the limiter kit in them ? seems possible I wont need them if they are as good as S&S claim, but I run 4 valve heads which create a lot of valve spring pressure alough my cam is not too wild,

I run them w/limiters & never had a problem. Some guys don't like/need the limiters but I do. They're good lifters.

Although when speakin with a S&S tech he mentioned that I only need them on the intake or exhaust side,,,(can't remember),,When in doutb I call S&S tech ..good guys to walk you through stuff and have taken the time to explain their thoughts.

Very good lifters, as we agree.

What is this limiter kit used for with the S&S lifters, never heard of it. Do you need the kit on a stock 1996 EVO with a mild cam? S&S part number for the lifter is #33-5342-4 Big Twin 84-UP.

Probably the intakes, to keep the lifter from collapsing too much should an intake valve be open after you shut your engine off.

We run 'em without, and do not experience problems with adjustments.

I contacted S&S and they just got back to me and said it is not necessary to use this kit with my set up. It is intended for high performance use were a higher spring pressure rate would be needed. Was wondering why I had never heard about this kit before this thread, now I know.
