1430hrs. This is the only guy, thanks by they way, who showed how to put on the gearcase/cam chest cover. I have been thru numerous videos, chats, manual, and ???. So thumbs up. Have a good day.
Hi thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already done so, it is exactly the same procedure from 2005 to 2022 the last year of air cooled sportsters .
Thanks for watching and please subscribe, if you haven't already done so. it helps the channel grow. Good spot on the cam lobs , not lubing that part won't lead to a detrimental effect as the oil will flood into that area upon engine startup. But you do make a valid point. The bike has been running perfectly since assembly.
Hello,thanks for the video.i have an xl883,2007model. is it possible to replace the cams without dismantling the rods? I saw only videos whit total dismantling. Thanks and excuse me for my english
Thanks for watching the video. Please subscribe it helps grow the channel. You need to loosen the top. Otherwise, the pressure from the rocker arms on the push rods will keep the cams from coming out. In short, no, you can't replace the cams without removing the rockers .
Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already done so. Great question. I forgot to include that part in the video. I removed the rockers, so there was no pressure on the pushrods or lifters, allowing the cams to be installed normally.
22 years ago i installed the Andrews n4. Cams perfectly. Now due to a blunder im redoing it BUT i CANT FIND ANY MARK ON THE CRANK TO ALIGN CAM #2 . Ive lookef and even used a magnifying glass to no avail!! Si i set the crankshaft through the viewing port between at Top Dead Center and aligned the marks Aaaaannnd Nope ,Not Today!! Since i Cant See the crank mark is there another method of fetermining i have the crank shaft in proper position to set the rest of the assembly????
@@DIYMagpi bought it new 23 years ago(2001 )I rode it 700 miles on it and I don't remember being lucky enough to see the mark on the crankshaft that connects the oil pump. However , here in Belize there isn't anyone proficient in Harleys so with my Nose into the cams with a Magnifying glass , a flashlight,and a red marker , I marked on the crank where I would start investigating from , thought I saw some odd scratches on the gear but continued when I Found It!!! An itty,bitty oblong mark and proceeded to Correctly line up the rest of the cams. There is a lot more to tell but that's for another time . Although with the monumental extensive tin work, motor ,work and other mods to make it resemble a retro look ,,,,the crowning touch was Artwork by the Head Lead Artist of water animation at Disney studios on my gas tank from his humble home in Costa Rica where I lived near Joseph Gilland
Yes, there is a nice pick up at around 3000 rpm. Bike feels completely different in terms of low down torque. There is better cams . I went with the N4 due to them being readily available and reasonably priced.
@@DIYMagpi I recently bought a 94 hugger 883 with 1200 conversation with the 1200 valves and small chamber heads and the n4 cam, I really like it, 55mpg.
Did you change out the lifters at all? I’m thinking about getting the N4’s I currently have the W’s in mine because it’s a 2000 1200s so it came stock with W’s… long story short going to drop in fueling hp+4000 and some n4’s. How are you liking them still??
@jaredkish992 I left the stock lifters in place as I'm only going Stage 2 on the sportster , The stock lifters will handle and function within normal parameters with the N4 Cams. i.e. not a deal breaker. Great pick up at 3000rpm. Feels more responsive. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.
Yes I was however one of the cams came out of place. the pressure from the push rods does not always keep the cams in place when removing the cam chest. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already done so, it helps grow the channel.

Thanks for watching . Glad the video helped you.
Hammer performance has a playlist that I’m sorry to say exceeds this video by far. He explains it as a teacher would.
Very nice video. Great work. Is this the same procedure for Harley 2011 nightster 1200 ? Thank you.
