question about the twin cam 96?
I am not a mechanic not do i know alot about motors so i want to know is the 96 just a bored out version of the 88? how did they get the bigger inches? i tried searching for this answer but no luck. if i read corectly you can either bore or stroke a motor to get it bigger if that is right, what does stroking a motor mean? thanks for any info.

My suggestion would be to direct this to the service mgr of the nearest dealership or, do a web search. When H-D introduced the engine this year, there were several on line articles written about its inner workings.

It means that the stroke (the distance the the piston travels up & down) is longer.
The bore is actually the same as an 88" TC. If you add a "big bore" kit to an 96", you end up with a 103" vs. adding a similar kit (3.875" bore) to an 88 and getting a 95".
