EVO's
It's an original H-D one, and a crappy one too.
But, hey, we just covered cams just recently - and 100 times before - read up the recent thread on "EV-13 versus EV-23" for starters.
If you are lifting the heads, why adjustables?
(FYI, one Evo, two Evos; my Evo's head, my Evo's hot).
We do grammar here too.

Really? Best start a new topic just to discuss it and not go off topic here.
And please be specific.
I hate it almost as much as when people write 1990's to mean 1990s when someone comes along and makes a random insult like that without justifying it.
Which manual of style are you working from?
Any thoughts on this build?
There you go. You just saved the guy a $100 this week.

The plastic breathers aren't in there because they are better, it's because they are cheaper. They work fine until they don't.
If I were to get another evo, and probably will some day, the plastic breather and the cam bearing would get changed out if they weren't already.
Just my inflation depreciated $0.02 worth.

You have got to be right but they are also quieter. I know how dumb that sounds amongst all the rest of the noise but the amount of gear noise surprised me.
Not a great selling point.
So, '96, have you worked out a 'best value' budget yet?

The problem with your post about grammar is that you included the rest of us in your comment when it was really just you.

Think the OP is coming back? Or did we scare him off with all the Grammar remarks? LOL (I actually had to google how to spell Grammar)
Just my 2 cents, I would also go with an EV13 Cam. Simply because we run 2up and loaded most of the time, and it's supposed to run cooler. Nice to have a little more pulling power down low, but to be honest even in the stock configuration it does just fine for now. My base gaskets are weeping though, so who really knows where that will lead me when I do get into it.

However, in topics like this, I think there are two elements; the technical, and the budget/strategy.
We'd all like to have the "best", the most powerful, the most improved, "what we've read on the internet" etc ... and I think most of us would admit to have lost it as sometime or another throwing money into a black hole of obsession about our mechanic muses, some bike or another, and being sucked in by it beyond the rational.
For me, a lot of the time, the real question isn't "which part should I use?". It should be, "what is my best strategy approaching this issue/project?".
But good working practise with the written word is that it should be invisible so that the idea ... or question ... behind it shines through clearly.
(Yeah, I'm OCD when it comes to apostrophes after having seriously embarrassed myself and compromised my position by getting in wrong once. I struggle with this stuff too).
Back to the virtual garage and the build, guys ... have we got some compression and good squish going on here?
