Please help!
Hi, new here… I just recently installed a S&S cam, plate, oil pump, cuffs, lifters, adjustable push rods new gasket and o rings etc… I followed many instructional videos and I’m having a problem. The engine won’t crank at all… it’s as if the starter motor just died on me. The only things I may be didn’t do correctly is chasing the threads in the cam plate bolt holes, and I forgot assembly lube but I had some Locsite ? Brand leftover from another product… it was red colored. all the assembly lube I have seen was red also so I’m sure it’s suitable.I have checked everything…. I even tried bump starting it by popping the clutch and rolling down a hill like 30mph. The engine just won’t turn over. I have ordered a high torque starter as maybe because if the new cam lift the OEM starter doesn’t have enough power to turn the motor over. Please help! I have about $4500 in parts into the bike and want to go riding… it’s a 2019 Street Glide special.

Not a very funny joke. Makes it much harder for someone that is actually having a problem to get help. I hope the administrators kick you off the site.

double check the torque on the high flutenator and make sure the molecular twangulator has the right amperage
