Default Evo flywheels
Hello:
I have a set of 1998 evo cases, and was wondering if I could use late model shovelhead flywheels and rods.
Thanks

Thanks:
I was told they would work but wanted a second opinion. I was also told I would have to use the shovelhead pinion gear, oil pump gear and shovelhead cam cover.
Is this correct? and is there anything else I sould know.

The wheels should work okay,but as far as the cam cover I think it will matter as to what year shovel engine.

I assume the cam cover would have to be a late modle shovel or an early evo.

the late cam cover will work,you cant use a late lower end with an early cam cover,but a early lower end will work with a late cover

got it.
Ok now for another question. oil pump gears. will the shovel oil pump gear on the flywheels line up with my evo oil pump gear? or do I have to change the gear on the oil pump shaft. This should be it.
The only reason I.m asking all these questions is that my brother put a stroker kit in his 83 shovel and gave me his flywheels, and I want to put them in my 1998 evo cases.
Thanks

Look in harley's shop manual for instructions to check rod play tolerences for your bike. It's not complicated, .020 is max(I don't have manual in front of me) side to side which is checked with feeler gauge on crank pin between rod and flywheels. I've seen shovels with 200,000 miles on bottom ends before being touched. It's not necessarily about mileage, but the bike and how it's been treated. You should have no up and down play to speak of, the book shows.
