I worry when he calls the parts "a couple little details in there". I hope this isn't for your Power Tour ride....

I had someone else take them apart and put them together.....So......Since I didn't get involved, chances are pretty good that everything will work out.......LOL

Thanks for posting that. That was really interesting. I purchased a set of EDM lifters about four years ago and I think they're great. I think the hole in mine was .012 and was actually difficult to see, but if you'd pump up the lifter in your hand with a squirt-type oil gun, you'd see it weep the oil from the center.

What does EDM stand for ???

Which lifter mfg sell/include this option ???

How much extra $$$ might it cost,

Did Ken do it himself at a cost savings, because he has the machinery ???

EDM stands for Electrical Discharge Machining...When the Microscopic Spark Jumps between the Wire and the Part it Erodes the Metal away....The Harder the Metal, the Better...On our other Wire EDM Machines that are built for extreme Accuracy we can hold size to within 20 Millionth's of an inch..................Neat Technoligy
