year of engine and primary case?
does anyone know how to tell the year an engine upper and lower assembly is? would it be by the numbers engraved on each?i know the year of the bike but am suspicious the engine may be older

The serial # is on the left of the lower end. All the parts have # on them that may or may not match part #s. My inner primary had the right #s but the rocker support?? There also are dates casted into the parts. looks like a clock with the year in the middle and little marking indicating the month.

The stamped #s on the transmission wont match the rest of the VIN. I'm wandering if someone put a softail-Dyna inner and outer on it? The gasket # you should have gotten is 34901-94C
I also wanted to add that the pics in the Clymer books aren't always right.
