timing chain issues
I have a 2000 road king with 88 cubic inch. I started the motor and the oil light came on so I turned off the engine and cut open the filter and found small sand like pieces of something. what is that and is it a costly repair.

Going to need to pop off the cam cover and have a look at the tensioners. I assume what you found was orange in color. If you are handy with a wrench and nothing is too torn up in there, you may get away relatively inexpensively. The oil pump is in there, too. Get a manual if you don't have one.

if it is tensioners,having the debris mess up the oil pump isn't a good sign (as far as being inexpensive)pop the cover off & check it out.but on the best case scenario,your looking at a pump,cam plate & completely flushing your oil system.good time to either go to gear drive cams or a SE hyd. up grade
