I ended up using black worm gear clamps on the fuel line crossover...

found the source of the leak on the rear cylinder.. . mauled rear breather seal... how'd that happen?



the rocker boxes on these twin cams are torture! i spend near an hour getting them off. i'm need advice on the best way to get them back on and torqued, the rear box was straight from hell.

what are you all using to get them on and torqued? i did some BS to get them off but, getting them back on is going to be a different story.




No issues here... i did pull a stunt to get the heads of because the throttle body clamp screws were near impossible to get to... pulled both heads at the same time.

must be a tool to something to avoid that sort of stupidity.







bottom end is huge. doesn't seem that way withe the cylinders on but, damn!
How are we getting the ACRs out of the heads? any funky tools needed? edit..... never mind: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/engin...s-and-acr.html

There only a problem for those unfamiliar with using them ...they are a great clamp, specific in sizing

Pincers are cheap

I need to get some of those crimpers. I like oetiker clamps but have always just used side cutters to crimp them...which suck ***.

Not very much at all, actually... Just a little bit in the bottom. I was way more concerned about how much tensioner material was waiting in the cam chest...

I think there are pictures in my thread showing about how much oil was in there...
