2002 was last year of timken bearing on crankshaft. I thought was little later until they went cheaper crank. Not sure. Harley did increase the spec for run out at some point. People said it was just to cover up their bad cranks. Dunno. I am not sure if it was for the 96" or before. So if he is looking at his service manual, it might say .007. I can't remember anymore.
Crank run out is obviously an issue if you want to go to gears.
Though just popped into my head, would this cause crank seal leaks????

The MoCo changed the run out spec a couple times.... I believe for my 2012 it was up around .010 or even .012... I can't remember.... Once the MoCo went over .005ish as acceptable, I stopped paying attention to their spec and went with what I felt was good.... luckily, none of the bikes I've owned, and checked the run out, were over .004...

06 Ultra with 78k. Almost 0 oil pressure at idle hot. The crankshaft has.0007 runout. Engine has Andrews 026 cams with geardrive. A friend Highly recommended the S&S pump and camplate over the fueling brand, because it would tolerate more crank runout.
I want to put the bike on the road until winter
any pro or con ????

That is the question.
Then did it a few years before 2012 too. Kids forget the sins of their fathers.
