Engine rebuild questions
I am starting to look into completely rebuilding my engine. I originally wanted to do the MOCO exchange but I don't think they offer that for the evo any longer? So I guess that is question 1. The other thing I am questioning is who can and will re-powder coat the engine cases. What I like about the MOCO is the numbers match. I eventually will yank the motor but for now I am trying to line up my options. I will be doing this one way or the other come the fall.

You can check with your local dealer but I believe the MOCO discontinued the motor remanufacture program for the EVO.
AS for who can powdercoat your cases I'd look into local powder coaters as I have my heads and jugs at one now.
If they can do car wheels they can surely do cases.

S&S offers a complete rebuild service. (Details here.)
That said, any full service Harley machine shop can do that sort of work. Unless something really out of the ordinary is going on, you'll keep your original cases so the numbers will still match.

At this time S&S does not offer any cosmetic or finishing options. The S&S engine rebuilding program is for functional repair only.

I'm a bit of a nut job, the powder coat is coming off in big chuncks so I want to recoat the entire engine. obviously while its apart I will fresh'n up the motor. Im putting it out there to find the options available. Call this research and development. I dont know that I'll get to it. Infact I have both bikes up for sale. I found a 96 BB in blue/yellow with extremely low miles that I'd like to buy.

So this is all for nothing. Maybe you could thank those who took the time to respondthinking you needed help.

It's a good thread regardless of whether the OP decides to do this or not. I'm sure many of us are thinking about eventual rebuild/replace/ issues with high mileage bikes.
after all, we're not going out to buy a new Twinkie or M8 in a year or two, right?

For anyone who knows me and for those that don't, I have bought/sold many parts, loaned tools as well as borrowed from many people I have never met based on trust. I have come to rely on the general good nature and honesty found in/on this forum. So I say, I don't feel I need to thank anyone specific as my participation here is as giving as that of which I take. So I'd like to THANK YOU for the opportunity to validate my existence here, even though I practice taking the high road.
