Both jobs will be done together. I believe I can tell a clutch problem from an engine problem. LOL

Looking good! Watching this thread is giving me the itch to do mine. I have a Dyna,also but wouldn't mind hopping up the Sportster


How much clearance between the jugs? they look like they are almost touching in the middle, maybe camera angle?

I put the heads on today. I had just torqued the rear head down and saw the o ring at the top of the push rod cover was not seated so I had to take the head bolts out and fix it then re torque the head again. I hope its ok.
