I just installed the S&S 106 kit on my ride with the S&S 551 easy start cams. I put on adjustable pushrods and I have a question. I adjusted them as directed from TDC on each piston and allowed bleed time before moving on, but when I start and run the bike there is still a ton of noise from the lifters. How long should it take for them to fill up with oil after starting the engine? It is cold here and I am still doing the break in on the new pistons and cylinders. Bike runs like (EDIT) right now but I am taking it to the dyno tomorrow to get a proper map on the SERT for my setup. Should I be concerned with the noisy lifters, or will they eventually fill up with oil and quiet down once I get the engine to temp and broken in?? Thanks.
