Harley-Davidson introduced self-adjusting valves in 2000 with the release of the Twin Cam 88 engine. This innovation aimed to reduce maintenance requirements by eliminating the need for periodic valve adjustments. The system utilized a hydraulic lifter design that automatically adjusted to changes in valve clearance.

What are self adjusting valves?

There is no such thing as self adjusting valves. There is however, Hydraulic Lifters; The lifters run on the cam and work the push-rods. Hydraulic lifters are "kind of" self adjusting. It's only within a certain range and you have to get them close. A hydraulic lifter has four parts; the body, the plunger, small (internal) spring, and a retaining clip. If you look at the side of one, you will notice that there is a small hole. It's through this hole that oil is fed under pressure!
