Default 05 FXD oiling problems
Has any body out there heard of any oil circulation problems on 2004-2005 FXD models? I have heard from a couple of dealership mechanics, that the 04-05 models are having problems with oil circulation, bad rings, and bad valve guide seals.

The only real problems I see with '05 models is cam chain tensioners.

There was an issue with valve guides/seals on the 05, I had it repaired back in 06 under a recall if I remember correctly, or maybe it was under warranty, don't remember which for sure, but it is a known problem.
