Jims 2462-1 hydraulic tappet for Harley Davidson FL engines delivers a.731 inch outer diameter and ships without internals—the hydraulic unit must be ordered separately to complete installation. Designed specifically for Harley FL models from 1953 to 1962, it supports reliable performance in vintage maintenance and restoration projects.
Key installation notes ensure proper valve clearance and engine health. After initial adjustment, the pushrod may tighten; allow 5 to 15 minutes (or longer) for full hydraulic bleed-off. Do not rotate the engine during bleed-off. When bleed-off finishes, the pushrod should spin freely by hand. If it does not, avoid turning the engine until the adjustment allows free movement.
The Jims Standard Hydraulic Tappet Part #2462-1 is designed specifically for Harley Davidson FL models from 1953 to 1962, offering reliable performance for vintage motorcycle maintenance and restoration. These tappets are without internals, requiring you to order the hydraulic unit separately to complete your installation. Proper adjustment of the tappets is crucial for engine efficiency; after initial adjustment, the pushrod may become tight, so it is essential to wait 5 to 15 minutes or longer for the hydraulic tappet to fully bleed off. During this process, ensure the engine is not rotated, as turning the engine while the pushrods are tight can cause damage. Once the hydraulic bleed-off is complete, the pushrod should spin freely with your fingers—never turn the engine over if the pushrods do not spin freely after adjustments. This procedure ensures optimal valve clearance and engine performance, making these tappets suitable for enthusiasts and mechanics working on vintage Harley Davidson FL engines. Crafted in the USA, these tappets meet quality standards and are a vital component for maintaining or restoring classic Harley engines.
