engine problems
First let me say hello.
 \\;
I have a Patriot edition Ultra Classic 07. Im wondering if anyone has run into this problem with thier Bike. 6 mounths after I got the bike I had the 110 kit installed. and now I find out that there seems to be a problem with oil leaks from the head gasket. Though this is a problem Harley has come out with a new gasket, However this seems to be the least of my problems it seems that there are other issues happening with my motor because of the \\; 96 to 110 modification. is there anyone else out there that has \\;had this problem and what was your solution. From what I see I maybe buying a new motor. \\;

RE: engine problems
There have been issues with higher HP motor cranks. \\; Excessive crank runout can trash your oil pump and lots of other goodies. \\; Fix it before you have a catastrophic failure. \\; \\;If it has to come apart, have the crank \\;trued and welded and you'll never need to worry about it again. \\; Or you could pull it and sell it to me for a song.

RE: engine problems
well if I get rid of this bike my 5 year old would have a fit maybe disown me. \\; I think she loves the bike more than I do. I just want it fixed and since it's broken down now I want it done right the first time. Im very leary about the Harley dealership service centers. Ive had some issues with most Ive come in contact with. I just want straight answers which is hard to get from most of them. I understand thier position for the most part.

RE: engine problems
Were the mods done by a dealer? \\; Would it be covered under warranty? \\; Either way, see about welding the new crank before it goes back together. \\; If this is a warranty fix you should be thankful that it happened now.

RE: engine problems
Well this is whare it gets funny to me. The upgrade was done at a Harley dealer. but there saying because it was done after the 90 days that its not covered under the \\; warrenty im on my own. \\; That it Actually \\;voids my warrenty. This sounds crazy to me. Im going to write Harley a letter and send them a copy of all my reciepts and see what they say. I wanted to see if others have run into this problem before I write this letter to see what the solutions they came up with. I know that if I had it to do all over again I wouldnt have done it,But that is 20 20 hind sight. From what Ive learned so far S&\\;S heads maybe the way to go.
