hope I didn't miss too many....
Actually, if the case had not been drilled all the way thru, I would not be using one there at all. As it is, I'm just gonna be using it to "plug the hole". It has been documented, that this bolt can cause slight deformation of the bottom of the cylinder sleeves. That won't be the "case" (HAHA) on mine, because I'm just gonna snug it enough to safely stay in place and do it's job of stopping weapage from those holes.
Man Phil, what a great choice of parts! Look like that beast is coming together nicely. I didnt even know S&S made cyls for this application, good to know thanks. You might have ran it before, but that oil pump is awesome. Such a progressive pressure with good flow and great scavenging ability. Revs a little snappier with that pump.
I am really curious to hear of a comparion bewtween your old tq hitting monster to a motor that will rev further out the rpm range. Ed tuning this on as well?
Love the pics, keep them coming.

I've been talking to George & I sure wish JD's were closer, but I am lucky to have quality tuning resources locally! If, for whatever reason, we can't get it "just right"… I'll be head'n up that way, or to NC to let TR's shop tweak on it. Having said that.. I have no reason to believe that'll be necessary.
Keep an eye on Grampa… he's eyeing the 124 & I think he's gonna be in for one soon.
I know I'm not Phil, but.....
In his initial post you can see where the o-ring lip has been cut-out of the case.
It looks to me like there isn't enough "meat" left to cut a new o-ring groove...thus the base gasket.
I'd be interested to know if using a gasket changes his torque value for the heads, though.

I use the standard torque spec's provided by Cometic for their MLS gaskets ~ several small steps, up to final value of 42ft/lbs.

On another note - You built my motor - Known me for over a year and still went with no bling on the jugs and the heads??
What am I gonna do with you?

Just checking in to see if it's ripping down the road yet?
Does Ed's dyno go up as high as this thing will probably take it? You're gonna blow the drum off that dyno! LOL!!!

now look what you have done; I smell another motor war coming to Atlanta very soon -- we just got through the 107 - 113 - 117 squirmish -- now I guess it's time for the 120 - 124 - 131 conflict to begin.
Good luck with the new build -- folks here (you know who they are) are already secretly contacting T-Man.
Can wait until that thing hits the ground.
