I'm torn . . . Trying to decide how best to achieve my goal of making my bike as reliable as possible. I have a 2018 Street Glide, so I know it has some flaws that I need to deal with . . . I already added the primary vent, and also a tranny vent. I'm also working on venting the breathers to the outside of the airbox to stop all that crud getting pulled back into the motor. I added an S&S aluminum intake manifold and a Screamin' Eagle radiator fan (which works great) and I now have Tab Performance no-cat headers and V&H Eliminator Duals, with a Dynojet PV4 Tuner.

I'm not really interested in making the thing rip or scream, I'm a boring rider, I love cruising and I don't ride like I stole it. I just want it to run well and not leave me stranded someplace.

So here's the dilemma . . . I know I should replace the oil pump, which I'll do myself, but I'm trying to decide if I should also do the lifters, push rods and tappet cuffs at the same time? Are those things really an issue? Lifters and tappet cuffs are simple, but I'm a bit nervous about doing the rods, they look easy to screw up!

I'm also trying to decide which oil pump to go with? I was originally looking at the S&S, but now I'm looking at the Screamin' Eagle one with the cam plate, which I hear is much more forgiving if the runout is not perfect. I did order a runout measuring tool, which might make the decision for me.

I'm not doing a Cam, so the rest of the cam chest stays as is.

Any words of wisdom would be welcome.

Thanks
