I dont know which one's more reliable but I hope it's the one I got, TC88.

RE: Most reliable HD engines
Yes, please add the Revolution (V-Rod) motor to your list for the poll. It is a Harley Davidson engine made in the Kansas City, MO plant. I have a TC 96 and a Revolution, they are two totaly different motors, both are reliable, but the Revo has my vote as the most reliable engine ever made by HD. I have 25,000 miles on it and it still has not used a drop of oil, no leaks, no issues whatsoever. I have never done anything to it but change the oil every 5,000 miles and it only has one place to put the oil, not 3 like the TC, which I call the tractor.

Add me to the REVO list. 10k on my old 06 revo and not a drop of oil leaked or burned. Currently on 1500 miles on a new night rod special and it's shaping up to be awesome as well. Willie G really did an incredible job with this engine.

RE: Most reliable HD engines
Must of thought you named all the engines the MOCO built.....huh?
So without a doubt the answer would be the Revolution V-Rod engine.....
practically bullet proof and the highest stock HP rating of any engine they ever built.....
yeah you say its only been 6 years, but, the engines track record speaks for itself.....
just my opinion from a 25 years rider of shovels....
