Thanks for the help i had old harley man took head to him an he fill heads with starter fluid or brake cleaner whatever he used and turned back upright and none of fluid came back past valve seats said that was good way to check seat should but guess that is out the window if it is heating up then passn by i guess best way too determine if seals or valves is what twisted suggested open to all opinions
Thought I did explain to how check for the oil getting past the guides in the other other thread , only way your going to find the problem is do the normal diagnostic checks every old mechanic does . Don't keep hunting for an answer you want to hear it could cost you a lot of money and grief in the long run . Advice is free man take it or leave it , been dicking with shovelheads for 35 yrs I specialize in them I still ride one daily .

Well got it back together and i have run into problem i have never run into short of the plug or points out of adjustment has fixed b4. Is similar to bad plug will not start it trys hard backfiring everynow and then it blows out black smoke out that front pipe i have checked for fire on both cylinders and im getting it have checked pushrods 3 times and even bought new plugs checked intake for airleak. I have had bike 2years 1250 miles and im stumped i will add 1 last new detail on the bike when i bought it was ran dry off oil pistons welded to cylinder walls or vice versa it look nasty n there but as stated i punhed .20 over and rework heads with all new equip and that front has never been right but the back is a champ
