Rear head gasket was blowing oil at the mating seem, had a nasty clatter on cold starts and some decel pop going on. No more leak, doesn't clatter on cold starts anymore but loads up the starter like my high compression shovel does before it spins over now, the decel pop lightened up sound wise and just moved to a different rpm range..Instead of doing it as I'm gearing down engine braking it now has a flat sounding fart during shifts speeding up. Pipes sound flat as hell now too, whatever they did took all the crack out them.

Nothing just a gasket set for the rear cam chest or lifters didn't get touched, I'm done with this dealer going to be a pain going elsewhere when I have too. These guys didn't even have they had changed the head gasket on the paperwork when I looked through it, had it down as a rocker box leak. Going through the parts list I had to point it out so they could amend it for a record of the work so at this point I am not feeling the love about competency on some things here. Works looks good but no telling what got done that didn't get recorded.

My Road King is getting close to its 10000 mile service so I thought I'd take it to the dealer and get them to give it a good check over as I'd done the 5000 mile myself. After reading this thread I just went and bought the oil and filter today and service it again myself. Dam I like the way its running right now Bone Stock and don't want to risk what TwiZted has had.
