2016 flss .006 crankshaft runout
So I understand this is probably been discussed multiple times, but I'm in my cam chest changing out my cams to redshift 587 with the fueling HP + cam plate and oil pump and S&S premium hydraulic tappets, and I'm getting my crankshaft run-out roughly .006 I'm interested in opinions if anybody has any. I don't think I can Weld and plug the crank at the moment, what's the reliability of this?. Thanks

will be a long type but the utube has some nice vid's on this.
the issue is that run out in truing stand and installed are two diff animals
also, where you take the measurements matters.
think of a tetter-totter, where the fulcrum is determines the stroke of the arms.
also, you have play in the bearing and if you are dragging the pistons in the bore, this will effect run out number as the friction will lift/push the stub shaft.

just from what I have heard oem pumps have a bit more room than some of the higher quality cam plates /oil pumps. Then again I am not 100%

Factory runout tolerance for warranty purposes is .012", so apparently the HD engineers don't think so. Ask yourself this "self, did we like riding the bike before we opened the cam chest" if self says yes, then ride and enjoy the bike and if your oil pump goes, you can spend the money then.

All I know is my next bike will not be Harley Davidson... Seems this kind of **** is why they are doing so bad. They change to cheaper manufacturing and charge the same price.

I put 25k miles on my built 95" motor in my '05 FXSTD with runout at .005" with no issues. I did true and balance the crank when I rebuilt the motor to 98"; the rebuild was not required just something I wanted to do.

OK. Sell it now before you spend another dime; the longer you wait, the less you will get. Plenty of later model HDs running around at .006" runout with no issues; the only difference is that those owners just rid and have no idea what crank runout is I put 25k miles on my built 95" motor in my '05 FXSTD with runout at .005" with no issues. I did true and balance the crank when I rebuilt the motor to 98"; the rebuild was not required just something I wanted to do.
