QuestionQUESTION: I have a '75 FLH, with a "B" grind Andrews cam,with generic solid lifters. and it was running fine till I replaced the lifters&lifter blocks. I used Crane solid lifters, and their adj. pushrods, and an aftermarket block set. The problem is that since that change,the engine does not have the "pull" it had before. the ignition module (Dyna-S ) was marked to insure replacement in the same position so the timing should be okay. compression test reads 130-133Lbs back and front. Any ideas? Thanks!
ANSWER: Readjust the pushrods. You might have them to tight
Good luck and happy riding

QUESTION: Push rods okay, not tight, wondering if new lifters changed the geometry of valve train, and perhaps different timig st-up is needed? just a thought.
Answerchanging the lifters should not change anything since you are adjusting the pushrods. They will remain at the same angle. You are fine on the compression.
The only thing I can think of is the ignition went out, a fluke that happened at the same time you were doing your work or you have a short in the ignition
good luck and happy riding
