Gen 2 M8 Cam
So has anyone been inside the cam chest of a non-VVT Gen2? I’d like to know what the difference is in the cam vs the Gen1. I see there is a cam sensor on the non-VVT however the service manual doesn’t give any detail on how the sensor fits onto the cam.

What makes the center cooled so different to make it a gen 2?
Does HD identify the center cooled engine as Gen 2?

"Thought I would share a little of the testing we have been doing on the new Center Cooled engines. These are new, with many changes from the previous version M8 engine that requires that we start over at the beginning and test everything, step by step, to find what works and what doesn't. The heads Air Cleaner and intake along with the camshafts are all new, so this may effect everything in the intake system of the engines. We currently have several bikes out on the road getting miles put on them so we are finishing up all new items design and tested on each of the new Center Cooled engines, 117, 121 ans 121 VVT models as they are all different than previous units."

I installed a red shift 528 cam in my 24 RG. All the internals are the same ,with the exception of the inner cam bearing ,which is full compliment now. At the end of the cam there is a "wheel" for the cam sensor, that is held on by the cam retaining bolt. On the top end, the valve springs can handle more lift than the gen1 engines and come with 5.5g/sec fuel injectors.
