Hey all, so a few years back my cam cover rattled loose on my 96 King and subsequently wasted the gasket (p/n 25225-93B) and I just parked it as I've got my 15 bullshark to ride. Well now I've got the itch to get it going again and was wondering what gaskets exactly I need rather than buy a full kit.
I know I have to pull the rocker boxes and the push rods to take pressure off the cam but does that mean I just need the cam cover gasket and the few rocker box gaskets?
Bike is stock other than exhaust. Just shy of 100k miles.
Just checked out their site, pretty damn good prices. Kinda makes me want to get the complete top end kit since it's only $40. And the cam gasket kits $10.
Thanks for the help!
Does anyone know of any online service manuals that are available for download? Would be nice to know to torque specs and tolerances.
Electronic downloads can't be trusted in their accuracy. You really need a HD Factory Service Manual. I've found several good used ones on Ebay. Last one I bought was in great shape and only like $19 I think.
You want the HD one. What bike is you 1996. I have the HD 96 softtail book if you have a question or two.
Do not waste you time with anything other than the HD one.
It's Road King non efi. The manual I found is a repair/service manual I think is from harley but it's hard to read on my little *** phone screen. I'll definitely reach out to you for specs though. I really want an HD service manual but don't have the extra coin for it right now.
