S&S Cycle 53-84 BT Hydraulic Tappet Assemblies - 4 Pack

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1953-1984 Harley-Davidson Big Twin, getting the valvetrain right is crucial. These hydraulic tappet assemblies from S&S Cycle are designed to replace your stock units, ensuring proper valve operation and engine performance. They come complete with premium hydraulic units already installed, making them a convenient choice for your engine project.

S&S Cycle is well-known for its focus on performance and reliability in the V-twin world. These tappets are precision machined to meet strict tolerances, which is important for consistent valve lift and quiet operation. The integrated hydraulic units automatically adjust for expansion and contraction due to heat, eliminating the need for manual lash adjustments and helping to prevent valve float at higher RPMs. This set includes four tappets, enough for a complete engine rebuild on most Big Twin models.

When working on an engine of this vintage, using well-made components like these tappets can make a significant difference in the final outcome. They are designed to fit a range of Harley-Davidson Big Twin models from 1953 through 1984, including popular bikes like the FLHS Electra Glide Sport, FXRS Low Glide, and FXSB Low Rider. Ensure you have the correct service manual for your specific model for detailed installation procedures and torque specifications.
