New symptom. Went for a test ride and after 15 minutes or so, the bike had a hard time reaching 100 kms /hr and the oil pressure gauge was almost at 0. The oil levels were fine before I left.
If your oil pressure is almost 0, your lifters are bleeding down and your losing lift and valve timing. That's just the start. You have to find what your oil pressure problem is before you need a motor.
Is that a 96" 0r a 103". Compression isn't bad. I have heard of oil sumping in the case which will rob a lot of power out of the motor. There are threads around hear that can help you. Just search "Oil Sumping" it's when the oil builds up in the lower case and is not pumped back to the reservoir.
