Cam chain tensioners, as in the 'twin cam' big twins. Various auto engines have trouble with cam chain tensioners also.

Delyan, ask John, the community team man to relocate you post in the proper area and edit your signature to all the code letters and name associated to it. Only way we will all learn and everything will be proper.

And if you get a chance and they let you, get a few pictures of the gear.

Probably an investment casting that required little machining.

Think RH975S Nightster Special (ZF)



Since there giving yo a new motor, bet the mothership wants that back to take a hard look to evaluate there process from the raw source to the completion of that part.

Can you see thru that far out looking space helmet visor valve cover? That would be so cool if you could...

Actually... there is the Mustang pony car that we all know and now there is also a "Mustang" all electric cross dresser SUV thing that Ford decided to slap the name onto. Yea, yea, I know... I found this disturbing as well.

You guys overestimate my powers, I have no idea how to move posts. I did get a nice HDF beer glass for being asked to be a "Community Team Member." So, I got that going for me.

John

I was sending messages to djl quite often in the Welcome area on user who put important questions to them there and I tell them they can repost in and area and flag him . I now also tell them to ask or do it them self.

I got the filling he may be asking an Administrator? And I no longer felt comfortable dumping it on him.

He still is moving them, least couple ever page of new members.

Is he having to ask someone?

PS. I appreciate what your teams are doing here. It definitely has added some calming affect to those who can get a little combative.

Foxtrapper showed me how to move this to the Sportster S section. Thank you!
