Interesting video on YouTube posted today ... andrews Milwaukee eight street glide the good the bad and the ugly posted by Matt laidlaw today . Interesting Andrew says they told him the first generation oil pump went bad ! Maybe this is known information but I was curious have they admitted to a gen 2 oil pump and if so when did Harley start building them into the m8?if this has been covered at great Length ..... my fault 🇱🇷Not sure how to link it so again my fault .

You got to watch the S&S anodized finishes- they had problems with it in the past coming off & being found in the scavenge cavity/ oil passages. Yes there stuff is pretty...……..But it doesn't perform any better, their oil pump provides no more volume flow than HD`s high performance pump - bench tested a lot of their stuff & compared to HD`s & others - there is no real difference!
If you like pretty stuff then buy it - but its not seen so IMO a waste - Pretty in this case does not provide performance! Don't get me wrong its quality stuff - its just not any better - its just pretty!

I’m not aware of any resource with the release of each oil pump version. I’m not aware of any new reports of M8 engine sumping, at least on this forum, of a bike built after April 2018, but I could be wrong.
