there wasn't a typo.. you stated 110 ci stroker.. Harley would never do that nor will they replace it with a new crate.. your buddy is wishful thinking.. you'll get new seals & gaskets.. hopefully they will check all the tolerances and you wont get get screwed over w a motor that only gets 5 thousands miles on it before it needs new gaskets.. good luck dealing with them.. unfortunately I think you are going to screwed..

Theirs been several in here this yr that has had the same issue.. it turned out on all that I remember that its just the excess oil on the factory seal..
Most just wipe it clean and have had no issue's afterwards..
for Ur dealer to tear it down is IMO unusual. ????

Probably what makes folks think that there's something odd, is the fact that someone (the original owner) goes out and buys a new Harley and keeps it for a good few months without actually using it, and then lets it go for a "too good to be true" deal.
The fact that the dealer confirmed the warranty is good, is a major advantage for you, but if the dealer finds something done by the original owner to void warranty, then you'll be in a real pickle.
Again, I sure hope that it turns out good for you.
Firstly I hope the best outcome for you.
