@thebuzztone10 ай бұрын
@@tylerdzugan9596 Yes, I installed them in a tw-96 (2010 Ultra) and it was well worth the effort. I called Woods and talked to Bob. I used Fueling adjustable pushrods, installed TBR 2 into 1 exhausted and a high flow air cleaner, Then tuned using a Power Vision turner due to having fuel injection. Ran the bike to Florida, and averaged 42 MPG on the 2500 mile trip. Plenty of power.

Sir I’ve been watching a lot of your videos, some several times and I’m a fan. Thank you for making great videos for guys like me. I’ve been wrenching a while on different bikes and it wasn’t until recently that I got into Harley’s. Your videos have helped me out a ton. I wanted to leave you with a tip of my own. I’ve watched several of your videos where you open up the cam chest and throw the oil pan under it to catch the oil. That oil inevitably gets all over the cable and frame below. Some old man taught me a long time ago to take aluminum foil and make a catch that fits under what I’m working on and direct the oil to my pan. If you try it I’ll bet money you keep a roll of foil in the garage after.

I show how in the top end reassembly video go to my play list if you want to check , I guess I should have mentioned that in the cam video. But if your not taking the top off just pull the top tube cover it's got a slit protruding so you can pull it out. Lift the bottom tube it will slide into the top one. Cut the push rod with bolt cutters and remove them, you will want to get some adjustable push rods for reinstallation. I've got a video on how to install adjustable push rods on my playlist also the manufacturer will have instructions to it's easy you won't have any trouble. Than to reinstall the tube cover use a flathead screwdriver to push down on the spring loaded center piece with the cover on top of the screwdriver and walk it in.

Unless your building a race motor it's not necessary. The overpressure valve in the support plate is gonna maintain 35p.s.i. The stock pump is capable of putting out more than that but the engine is designed to run at 35. So the valve keeps it close to that.

I don't think pounding the inner cam bearing is a good idea. And it should be set to a certain depth.
@DeathProofProductions10 ай бұрын
Your right pounding on certain bearings is a really bad idea because of the brinelling that's caused by the bearings hitting the load bearing surface they ride on. That causes fretting that starts to spall off under load as the race and bearing come into contact leading to bearing failure. Gently tapping in needle bearings doesn't cause the load bearing surface to impact, the tips of the rollers that are tapered to a point are what make contact. This is a none load bearing surface and won't cause spalling. The inside of the case were they go has a shoulder , you push them in until they make contact. This usually puts them about .050 below the surface of the case.

Wasn't anything wrong with them, they were well within the factory serviceable wear limits. We were trained by the factory to only replace parts that don't have alot of life in them so we don't waste people's money. Your way of thinking seems to be throw parts that you don't need in it, what about the rocker arm's or the valves since I'm putting in cams, the lifter bores are machined into the cases so I guess I need new cases while I'm in there, since aluminum wears faster than steel lifters.

I'm with you they are the same, had to argue that with people a few time's through the years. They have you check the lifters roller for roughness , excessive play and pitting. If Harley thought you needed to replace the lifters every time you do a cam swap they would have sold the cam's as a kit, or recommended to replace them in the item description. They never taught me or the other 30 Harley mechanics Iv worked with through the years to replace them every cam swap, 25 years and thousands of bikes later I have yet to see a problem. My hearetage that I'm riding right now going cross country is a prime example. Iv changed the cams out on it Polly 5 times looking for the one I wanted. 100,000 miles later no problem.

it's not so much about going fast on them , it' more about enjoying one more thing to do with the bike. mechanics like me and the guys i worked with just like having a reason to tinker with them. it's a way to bond with the bike so to speak, even on my not Harley bikes I do the same on them. when me and my wife were dating she asked me why i have so many different brands of bike's my response was why do you have so many brands of shoe's, its because they all feel different. she shook her head and said i see your point.

Not everyone wants to get where they are going as fast as possible. Some like to actually enjoy the ride.
