Sorry about that. I just wanted to bump this thread back to the top. It's very illuminating and informative. I need to study it harder.

I believe that on the twinkie, from 99-02, it had a Timken roller bearing crank bearing and that they quit that in 03.

"CRANKSHAFTS

ALPHA “A” type

There are two type of Alpha crankshafts

99-02 Timken bearing crankshaft

03-06 non-Timken bearing crankshaft"

Oh man... I'm lovin' my '02 more and more! From what I understand the front cam (support plate) bearings were ball and the rear were roller (not 100% on that but 80% sure 00-06 except the dyna 06) ... did you replace front and back with Torrington roller bearings? (Shwing!!!)

Yes. And that's one of the reasons I bought and keep my 02 Deuce for my driver.
