Well said, Mentor70. Appreciate the insight. I used to be pretty mechanically inclined and did all my own work on my 4-stroke dirt bikes. I'm just not motivated to did that deep into my Harley...yet. Hell, at this point, it's quick and fast enough. If I ever do the cams, the drives will change too.

 

Mentor, Did you pinch off any of the oil lines to change your cams?

 

there is nothing to "pinch off" alittle oil comes out of the cam case when the cover is pulled.

and a little bit more when the plate comes off, but not much.

just buy new o-rings for everything. and some Evo lifter block centering tools to realign the oil pump.
