Engine reman program 88 vs 103
I've got an 2000 RK that just through a rod. Time for a new engine. The reman program just changed up options and you can now purchase any engine that will fit into your bike. My questions is, what is different from my 2000 TwinCam and 2011 TwinCam? Have the oil ports changed? Are the sensors different?
Been told that the 96/103 does not have a cam sensor. Why can't I use my existing cam cover with sensor? I've been told that the new engine swapped up oil ports and my trans/oil pan won't line up. Is this correct?
Thanks for the advice.

Thinking about all this the main improvement is the cam and oil pump setup.
But to change the older bike to a new engine will include a new ECM at least. the things around the engine are the cost things. Throddle body etc.
but most can be got off Here or E-bay I bet.
I bet this has been done and might be interesting.
Plan it all out first. folks here will help.
Make sure it will go with the Transmission and such. Bolting up, etc.

You can send your existing engine in, thru your local dealer to be re-manufactured, to OE specs.
As of August 2009, S&S Cycle, in Viola, Wisconsin, now handles that program for the Moco.
Other than that, many engine combo's can be established to suit your needs, thru a competent shop.

Don't know how bad the damage was but if your bottom end can be rebuilt; rebuild it. Problem with a reman engine is that you will lose your forged crank and the Timken crank bearing. Send the lower unit to Hoban Brothers or another qualified machine shop of your choice and have the lower unit refurbished and the crank welded.
Of course, if the damage is beyond that approach to repair, then a reman may be your only option. IMHO, it's more trouble than it's worth to try and adapt a later model 96" engine to an earlier frame/transmission. There is a reman option for an upgraded 95" engine for the earlier models.

If the crank is Fubared, then an S&S crank of either 4 3/8", or 4 1/2" stroke will yeild a 103, or 106".
Combined with a relatively small cam, from one of several outfits, and a good set of cylinder heads, and you'll have a very nice engine.
120 ft/lbs of torque is within easy reach.
