2006 dyna engine heat oil pressure
Hi guys, I own a 2006 dyna with 28,000 miles. It is all stock except screamin eagle air cleaner and V & H short shots.I know that harley switched to hydraulic cam chain tensioners beginning in 2007 and all 2006 dynas. However these can still fail at around 50,000 miles, so I figure I'll just replace mine now. While I'm in the cam chest I will also replace the cams, Should I also replace the stock oil pump ? My goal is to reduce engine heat and increase oil pressure,If replacing both, how much lower will engine temp be and how much more psi of oil pressure can I expect ? Thank you. James

Replacing the stock oil pump will not increase oil pressure or reduce engine heat. If you wan to reduce oil temps a Jagg 10 row low mount oil cooler will help. With the addition of cams, you should consider a fuel management system and a dyno tune. A proper tune will optimize performance and keep engine heat down.; you will be surprised at the difference a proper tune will make.

Actually, that's true for most engine, but especially roller bearing engines.

I suspect that more pressure is important for plain bearing crank engines as the tolerances are tighter. You need the pressure the create film strength, where on a roller you just need a dab of oil.
