So as I have informed already.
some parts have just arrived to the garage. up graded breathers with nice short bolts ;) - this shall make the job easier. I will also replace both of the rocker box sealings - from what I have heard, the original HD ones are working very well and pricewise they are same as the aftermarket ones. so there will be more to come within 4 months more or less... just waiting for a good weather ;) https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...9131339ac6.jpg |
The first time I upgraded the old breathers to the new stamped breathers, I remember thinking, "If just for the shorter screws, this upgrade is worth it!" :icon_goofygrin:
You got this whole cam tensioner upgrade dialed in..... now you can help all your friends do it... :icon_emm: |
That Is True mate... I can expect them to ask for some services qith their bikes. Is it different when It comes to 96 engine ? In regard of inner cam bearings ? That is what I have heard.

Basically the same cam chest except: They use the bigger inner cam bearings (B-168), they have the cam plate with a bushing (no roller bearings), and they come OEM with the hydraulic tensioners and roller chains.... so no need to upgrade the tensioners/chains... However..... I've been inside the cam chest on one 96" and two 103" Twin Cams to upgrade to better cams.... That's always fun..... :icon_bike: |
Thank you very much for the hint.
When it comes to open up the cam chest I will double check if my puller for inner cam bearings will work as well...for the time being we will leave it as it is... |
Just coming back to this subject ;)
Finally the weather is better here, and I took out the bike for a spin. there was no oil coming out from the inside of the cylinder heads. Looks nice and clean there. I took it to my garage and cleaned it up very carefully. will have to observe it more. if it will be dry I will most probably not take out the rocker boxes. if it works... it works. |
Something to add on top.
sealing of the breathers with high temp silicone was a good idea. No harm done . But stuff is disassembled bottom rocker covers taken off. sealings will be replaced. New breathers installed https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...49456844ef.jpg |
