Hey Harleypingman, +1 on your post I'm with you all the way. Seems like we can't as a group of admirers have an appreciation and learn from somebody's vast skill/experience (which PhilM has plenty, he helped me with my build over the phone and not too many people would even consider doing that for a stranger or someone they have never even met before) without someone trying to **** on your leg.

Nice talking with you on the phone this evening Phil.
I would be willing to bet that Ed had a great time tuning this monster.
66 promod really hits the nail right on the head
sayin - "thank you for all the information you have shared with us phil.."
I can't remember how many threads you have started like this one.
but, you've really moved the bar up for me now.
Somehow all the bullcrapola was deleted from the thread.
Thanks again Phil. no shortcuts. just the real thing.................

You are quite welcome, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
"Ed" is Ed Dahir, @ www.thedynodifference.com He is also EddFive, here on HDF.
He is in Dallas, on the border with Richardson (near 635/75 interchange).
That's awesome & it's only next week! Tell Dave I said "Hey!"...
Be sure to let me know how it tunes out. I feel like I was there with ya on the build!

well phil, have you figured out whether the drive belt is going to have to be replaced with a chain? that's gotta be an awesome feeling to romp on it. great pictures, and the components look amazing.

Ya know I was riding my Ultra yesterday and wondering what it would be like with this motor in it, dammit, it has begun.
I am wonering why you needed to use the rocker box alignment pins? Has there been an issue with alignment on the rockers and coming apart? Or is it just with the new ones you installed? Where does the pin get pressed into? does it also align the rocker support plate?

It is a tapered bolt that threads into the existing holes in the head. It is not used for the support plate because they are not long enough ~ GREAT question, though. Any of you machinists wanna make me a set that is long enough to get through both the rocker box AND rocker support plate?
Holler if I can help. I'll be glad to share what I know if it'll help ya.

Phil,
I can do it. I don't have any top ends taken apart right now to do some measuring. Can you stack an assembly on your bench; measure it out, send me the dimensions in a sketch. I will make them out of 4140, heat treat them, turn the final diameters to get rid of run out.
I'll probably make a set for myself. I've always eye balled my top end assemblies.
