i recently had a new S&S flywheel, camplate, oil pump, hydrolic tensionrrs bearings, heads ...the whole shabang done on my 03 roadking flhrci. it was done by a very reputable shop who has done bottoms for me before and never had a hiccup....here is the thing. Im assembling this thing and trying to find TDC on compression to finish the rocker installation when low and behold i find that the compression stroke is on the exhaust side...of both cylinders. please watch the video. would swapping front for rear cams cause this? i need to take the cam plate out i think.

thanks in advance for your time and attention
Chris

Ether you are rotating the engine backwards or you the push rods in the wrong holes. Cant install the cams backwards.

 

ah ****!...back to the FSM i read it wrong! i was rotating clockwise looking at the primariy shaft end....oopps. lets try this again. thanks for the help. Maybe i should call Capt. Obvious to look over my shoulder and save me from myself. ONWARD!!! my father's day present is a running Road King

 

Man I hate when that happens. Hello captain obvious! Been there more times than I care to admit.

 

Let's hope the starter knows which way to turn when you try to fire it up!! Similar thing I did: Took a starter motor off my boat motor,because the bendix wouldn't slide up and engage the ring gear. Cleaned,checked,polished,put it all back together,same problem. -Battery cables were on backwards,starter was spinning the wrong direction.
