Cam shaft
Upgrade to 230cams S&S, and improved oil pump instalation kit also. All new fluids oil and transmition, and filter. New oil pan, O rings for drain plug, and new clutch gasket, gasket maker the blue stuff. And the blue locktite, at a buddies garadge with tools, no manual. And looking up parts diagrams isnt working. Saw a few youtube videos. But not showing what ill be doing. Its a 2000 FLHR, Road King, theres a new metal oil dipstick thats screw in, instead of plastic now being installed also.
Was told, may or may not need not need jets adjusted as it isnt far from original cams in it fromnstock i guess. Stronger for hauling trailer, was the goal. Not sure where there can be found, parts diagrams for holding the lifters up, and top rocker covers off also. The specs of the torque of all things after, done to speck.
Thanks. BUCK

If you are looking for diagrams breaking out the cam plate / oil pump assembly and lifters, there are lots of Twin Cam swap out videos on Youtube and on this site as well. And you can find the torque values online as well, but having an HD service manual standing by is invaluable, and a good investment. You might be able to find a used online at a reasonable price.
You will need some special tools for removing and installing cam bearings, as well as foot and inch pound torque wrench that is properly calibrated. Older ones can be off by more than 10%.
Watch a few videos to familiarize your self with the parts involved, and take pictures of parts and components as you disassemble things. And, unless they are fairly new already, seriously consider replacing the lifters with good quality ones, like S&S, Fueling or Hylift etc.

I think the OP is installing SE 203 cams, not 230 S&S but just a guess.
The OP should get the service manual and check out the "oven/freezer" method for a one time cam and bearing R/R. Some here propose that the service manual procedure is the only way to go but for a one time DIY cam/bearing R/R that does not require "special" tools, this procedure, if followed correctly, works every time.

Good point, but I was thinking more about the two bearings in the case. There are likely several ways to remove and install those and other bearings, but over the years I've found the special tools to be helpful for keeping things aligned and set to the proper depth, while not inadvertently magnetizing them.
