2010 Ultra Classic lost oil pressure. Tore it down and curious if the bearing has moved inward. Appreciate your thoughts on the attached picture. Thanks!
Thanks for the reply. I had someone email me this morning and said the bearing should be flush with the edge. Believes that caused the oil pump pressure to fail. Not sure what I will do next with this as I do not know what other damage it caused.
Thanks for all the info! Not sure what caused this to happen. I've had people tell me to look at a few sites where they rebuild the crankshafts and fix know flaws. I just have to figure out if the case itself was damaged. No harm to the cam bearings but would replace those just to be safe. Also looking at the upgraded cam plate and high volume oil pumps. If this can be fixed then I don't want to do it half way. Just put new chain tensioners in about 3K miles ago. Engine had about 30K when this happened.
I found out Darkhorse Crankworks is only 1 1/2 hour from my location. Will try to schedule an appointment with them tomorrow to inspect the crank and case. They also do Timken bearing case upgrades. Unbelievable that you have to throw money at something that should have lasted 3 or 4 times longer.
