I am installing ACRs in my heads and the H-D instructions only address the new wiring harness. It doesn't mention the torque value to use to install the release in the head.
I believe that they may be stock starting with the 2011 bikes. Does anyone have a service manual for a 2011? Can you look up the torque for me???
Thanks in advance.

 

From the 08 police supplement:

Three dots of blue loctite equally spaced around the threads
Install finger tight (ensure against cross-threading)
Torque to 11-15 ft lbs (14.9-20.3 nm)

 

Thanks boogaloodude. I wound up calling the moco and they told me use same torque as a spark plug, which according to my book is 12-18. So, looks like I may have over torqued them slightly. Oh well, too late now as I have the lower rocker on and am struggling with the rocker supports.

 

Struggle? What's the problem? The front drops right on and you have to finesse the rear with all four bolts, breathers and breather bolts in place; tricky but just takes patience and a little concentration.

 

The struggle is:
1) H-D includes four new bolts with the kit and the cheap bastards couldn't have included all eight, which is fine except the instructions are not clear where the new ones go.
2) The new bolts (and the old bolts) are over 1" longer than they need to be
3) The rear cylinder, rear LH was tight against the frame, but I used a 1/4" "L" allen wrench that a cut off with my die grinder. Once I got the bolt partially installed I had sufficient room to use the short piece that was cut off from my allen and a wratcheting 1/4" box wrench to get it mostly seated
4) there is so much slop in the forging that I have to wait until I get the push rods installed in order to make sure the push rod is center in the tube.
5) the breathers are a walk in the park. I was thrown a bit by the "new style" breather being so completely different from the old ones.

 

Welcome to the Harley DIY club. I am having trouble with the slop in the forging; have never experienced that; doesn't sound right. Once the rocker box is centered, you shouldn't have to be concerned about pushrod centering in the tubes. Geometry is likely to keep that from happenging anyway. Keep up the good fight!

 

The (new) socket head bolts go on the left side, the (old) hex head bolts go on the right side where the notches are.
