I spoke with my builder today and everything is in place except for the pipe and clutch. Still waiting on those to arrive but the S&S 635 HO cams went in without any issues which I was glad to hear. Getting pretty excited.

Oh and just FYI to debunk any myths about difficulty installing the S&S 635 HO cams, they installed very easily with no issues.

So you installed them into a 124 ci SnS motor without checking the valve to valve or valve to piston clearances?

No the engine builder installed them. I asked him if he had any issues with them and he said he had no issues at all.

Default Barnett Clutch springs
Dare I ask what clutch springs anyone is using on a stock S&S 124" with a Barnett Scorpion clutch with low profile lock up pressure plate?
