Jims Powerglide™ tappets will give you superior hydraulic function compared to OEM-style equipment, a billet steel body with hand-polished hydraulic unit cavity and an oil-fed shaft.
To achieve full power, you must have zero valve lash and eliminate hydraulic unit collapse as found in the OEM unit, also called "damper syndrome."
Failure to keep the valve fully open will result in a loss of power.
Jims Powerglide tappets are as close to a solid tappet as possible, but can still compensate for heat expansion.
They will even work well with solid style camshafts.
Weight 149 grams each.
Fits as an upgraded direct replacement for OEM 18523-86A.
Fits: > 84-99 BT; 86-90 XL; 87-90 Buell (NU)
