My understanding is that S&S actually did the H-D reman engines and have set up there own system, to replace the H-D one. I doubt if the MoCo is still supporting Evo new parts.

 

There you go, good idea with the air blowing out.
Try hooking compressed air to the case where the oil tank vent line is, see how much volume of air you get from the plug.

Maybe could tap it to pipe thread, so you don't have to rely on the taper part of the plug to seal it.


Crazy idea,,,, start engine and run about 2.5k, that should keep the shavings out, and lube the tap at the same time!

 

This may be a bit off the wall.
Would it be possible to lay the bike all the way over on it's left side and work from the bottom.

We did this very thing fixing a drain plug on a J__ uh metric bike. To keep the shavings from going in the case.
Used some old blankets and carpet remnants.

Plenty of grease on the tap. Use a bottoming tap. Vacuum cleaner while you do it. If it's not stripped too bad, you can put several layers of teflon tape on your plug and it will hold.

Also, I seem to recall that someone makes an oversized plug for that. Self tapping, I think, or a kit. Try the usual aftermarket places.

 

OK, I got un-lazy. Here you go:

It's even chrome.

 

That is EXACTLY what I did on my Shovel years ago and it worked just fine. And used the kit you posted.

 

This I guess is the same thing just another source.

According to the shop I checked with you go in 1/3 of the way then remove and vacuum. Repeat till done.

 

Read the "Important Product Notes" For use on unassembled engine cases only...gotta cut that tap to use it on an assembled engine.

 

Guess we're back to a plug to get started and a bottoming tap to finish it then.

 

You may be on to something Schex. Mechanic said to put compressed air to tranny vent to see how much air will blow out and grease tap well.
Still sounds pretty chancy though.
