Architect. Holy **it! That fits it. The original title gave the name(don’t recall) and year (2012). That would explain the issues with the frame. Thank you for the story.

Hey rockjock, that little orange thing will sometimes stick to the cam cover when you remove it.

Tools suggestions.
caliper - digital or manual
Dial test indicator
Torque wrench - I have a few cheap ones ($30+-) but I believe a better one would be in order, particularly angle ability(just learned about that)
any HD specific tool that might be useful, I know that depends on what I am going to do, but creating a list to be prepared for the wallet beating i expect.
etc...

The mechanic I have been speaking with said the mark broke the metal surface and I will have to replace it. I had already ordered an Andrews EV27 cam as I suspected that mark did not bode well for the cam.

With the Andrew ev27 cam, I plan to put adjustable pushrods. If the lifters look okay, should I stick with them or get new ones regardless since I am there. If so, which ones would be best?

Not sure how this site works. If I quick reply to an individual, is posted for all to see such that anyone can reply back? Or do I post the question to a the board as well? I do not wish to clutter things.
