Anybody heard this before??
I was talking to a mechanic i was thinking of getting to some engine work on my 06 dyna and he said that the 06 and 07s are a weeker engine then past twin cams. He said that they are good stock and ok up to 100 HP and TQ, and that if you want to go big that you need to do alot more to it than on older models. I have never heard this and was wondering if anybody could shed light on this. Thanks

Starting with the 2004 models, I believe, Harley abandoned the tried and true tapered Timken sprocket side crank bearings. The setup they have used since is substantially weaker and there have been failures on built engines. Of course the chain driven cams have been a serious weak point on all Twin Cams, along with the balancer on the Softails.
