late model shovels

Rod to piston geometry is the same on all 80" shovels...no shovels had evo lifters...oil system was the same from 73 up. They did have better valve guides. The last shovels are considered to be the best they made....mostly because the company had been bought back from AMF and the employees had a better attitude, and were doing a better job assembling them. My 83 was the most leak-free used Harley I have ever bought.

the late heads with the .625 guides you couldn't install a bolt in cam -- check any place like Andrews cams -- I rid myself of those heads -- I use nothing but the 77/78 heads -- the late heads the bottom collar sits on the head -- earlier ones the spring collar sits on the guide Vthunder makes excellent cams for people who like hyd cams for quiet operation you can make them work in later heads but it requires special parts and work to do so.. i'll keep my lienweber L3S in my 80" best "BANG" for the buck..
