Got my cylinder heads back today..I put them in place for picture purposes only...doon enough.This engine has not run since 98.1971 x Toronto cop bike

 

spelling again.😂

 

You guys might be interested this engine.It was done in 1981 by a very reputable individual back then...short miles since then and we took it apart in about 2000.Everything was delightful so I put the lower back together then and it sat until now.Barrels were fab at .02" . The heads however suffered the cop bike "machinist" of the day treatment. Complete rebuild of the cylinder heads was mandatory here.Im a itchin to get the spring compressor out.Awesome forum guys.

 

torque adspters anyone?

 

I never here this mentioned here..surely to goodness you dont do the tight as you can get er with the wrech..John..Race...anyone?..

 

i did mine at 65ft/lb with a torque wrench with a dog bone 9/16ths

 

What a good looking machine!!!

 

Yes nice bike side oiler. My current build up could almost be a spittin' image of yours (with differences).
Looks like a good rider.

 

FLT fork lowers is different - the torque multiplier is a great piece but sometimes using it you need to grow a third hand and arm

we used a wedge between the sprockets forever and its linear not shock turning

 

I too try to use Torque adapters "by the book". Tho I admit I have, in a Pinch, simply did it by holding my mouth just right... get home and Re-torque..
Have had friends claim they just needed to get home...then ride for Years with the "seat of My Pants" method... If yer close...they can be very forgiving...Not Recommended..
Of Course...I adamantly, recommend Against the Local tractor shop Valve Job also...Some Terrible **** out there... May as well Lap em in to a Full width seat, and go...
@side oiler I know a really good Guy in Ontario...races with us...I will get his info if ya want... Hell of a Good Guy...and Sharp..
In fact, you should come over here when he Comes Racing!!!
