after contemplating which route to go and speaking to a few folks and getting their opinions. I finally boxed up my heads and lifter blocks and will be en route to Scott at Hillside Motorcycle. I am having him do the stage 2 head service to my heads on my 1996 FXSTC. I can't wait to get them back and see how my baby will scream after Scott and his team do their magic.

 

You definitely will not be disappointed. what else are you doing to the motor? If your gonna do stage II you might as well send him your intake as well and get it port matched to the heads. What carb are you running?

 

I have the mikuni 42 for the carb and have a oem intake manifold

 

Why the lifter blocks too. Overbore?

 

Scott asked me to send the lifter blocks so to measure the lift for the woods 8 cam that I will be putting in.

 

Wow, that's good to know, I'll have to check my block clearance for the cam lobes also, that would suck if a lobe wacked the lifter blocks !!!!! New tip,nice...

 

You have to make sure the slot for the roller is deep enough for the higher lift. You don't want the roller to bottom out on the lifter block.

 

Oh,I gotcha, thanks man, continue to keep getting bits and pieces here.

 

Glide, your ev27 is only .028" more lift than stock so I don't think there will be any issues.

As for Nukie, when you install your cam you will have to check the case for clearance. With the .590 lift it will become an issue... Talk to Scott....

I will also say this. That W8 in an Evo will be like holy **** man...... You might also like to look at a gear change to at least 3.27:1 over all....

 

Scott,

is the one that recommended the Woods 8 cam to go with my headwork. I am getting new clutches, pressure plate and clutch spring.
