Andrews 57h in 107 or 110
#21
right in the middle of 107 with 57 cams stage 2 heads from hillside. cams and cam plate in oil pan off and totally flushed out, crank case vacuumed out . starting with a totally clean inside, figure for the 12 buck gasket and 3 hours of extra time may as well clean out any old oil and inspect what came out before I add all the new parts, polishing cylinder fins tonight , clean cylinders up and install pistons cylinders heads by the weekend, getting rocker lockers, noticed rocker pins starting to move in the cradles , then drive for a cpl months hope to get back to hillside by july for dyno.

pan a bit of pain to clean
I expected the top baffle to be bolted on but once I got it out found out the aluminum studs are kind of melted peened over to hold the plate down. takes at bit of tilting pan side to side to make the fluid run around the bulkheads. I was looking for a few pieces of roller lifter that pitted years ago. I never did find any of it in the cam chest when I discovered the problem. bike was stalling at stop lights, I think some of the pieces plugged up the lifter and it was collapsing without being pumped up. new lifters new cams, didn't stall anymore, been driving it for about 5 years after lifter failure. took my 103 kit off in the summer put 96 stuff back on , measured lifter bores for wear. no marks in lifter bores, check crank run out, doing 107 kit now, just figured id completely clean the motor out this time around, hopefully the last time Ill have it apart. just glad the lifter started acting up long before it totally self destructed and damaged the lifter bores or anything else in the motor. just pretty dirty oil out of the bottom no metal on drain plug,, was surprised how much dirty oil the crank case holds, sucked that all out too kept refilling crank area and sucking oil out until it was as clean as it went in , don't tell my wife I used her good turkey baster
