Default Rockout Install
Installed the inserts in the front rocker without effort but the rear is a pain. Removing the rocker required pushing the arm pin out then the arm itself. This is fine but when i install the insert i wont be able to push the pin back through. Any ideas on how to pull this off?

If you mean how to remove the rocker arm assembly from the bike, I just left the rocker arm bolts in place after loosening then lifted out the rocker arm assembly. A little tight but it came out with little effort.

Exactly. It will come out with bolts in, just move it around a little. Not very difficult, it will come out and go back in.

Thanks guys. Got it out and back in. Mine has very tight clearance but was able to finesse it in there.

John,

I was all over your website....there is no clarification on engine/year fitment for the inserts that I could find.

I have a 2002 TC88 and a 2012 103. Same inserts?

I would like to put them in my cam'd 88 first.

Thanks,
Pete

Yep, same inserts. They fit all twin cam engines from 88-120 inch. I have other inserts for Evo big twins & early Sportsters, (late model Sporsters coming soon). But right now any inserts you see on ebay , Amazon, or my current website are for the twin cams.

Tough to answer. A lot depends on the age of the bike, how the gaskets look, etc. There is not the sh*t storm of oil flying around in there that most people think.... in fact just the opposite. OTOH, there is pressure in there. I've re-used them with no issues, but mine tend to never stay in there for more than a couple weeks at a time anyway. As far as price.... you can buy just the gaskets at your local dealer for about $6 each. For $12 total it's probably best to just replace them. There is no need to replace the breathers unless you're running the old style cast breathers & want to upgrade to the later style. If you do this, MAKE SURE you get the bolts that go with the late style breather, they are shorter & using the original bolts can cause damage.
