There will be some pressure to release especially on a hot day, but not "explosive pressure" They are like a radiator cap if it's functioning correctly, to much pressure builds and it releases.
Stick with the HARLEY manual when you go looking, it's the best source of info. AND the Service Manual is only one of 3, there's a parts manual that can help a lot in blown up diagrams of parts to make sure re-assembly is done correctly and there is an all electrical one.

I seem to remember one of the '84 Evo's coming with a kick start? Hard to stretch the memory that far back....

I'd like to have a kick start on my '86. I like the old skool look! Well, as much as you can get with a Softail, anyway. My old body can't hang with a ridgid for anything more than a barhopper.
I remember my first big motorcycle trip, 1982; Dayton, Oh. to Daytona, on a ridgid Triumph. I couldn't do that again!

I would not say the bottom end is shovel, anymore than any other evo. There are similarities, yes, but there are differences.
Look for the VIN stamped on the frame neck. If it's aftermarket, you'll see it in the VIN stamping. Does the frame VIN match the numbers (most of them) on the motor? I think the frame has some extra numbers/letters, but the motor numbers should be in there.
I seem to recall someone made a kick start kit for 5 speeds. Finding one today might be hard.
