- Here's a video I put together of the rebuild I did on my 1975 Harley Davidson xlh1000 ironhead engine, I also customised the chassis but I do not have any video of it so I will be uploading a video this summer of a detailed walk-around explaining absolutely everything I did to it, thank you very much for watching
Nice work. Most Ironheads need done what you have shown. I know my '74 XLH does.
Thanks for this, been struggling to find a video that shows how many little parts there is between the casings as I've got a box of parts that was a 75 XLCH with no idea what little washers and bearings are missing 🤣
That was cool. The finished product looks sweet too. Good job.
You prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Tristen Magnus Instablaster :)
@Cohen Junior i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Cohen Junior It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Tristen Magnus No problem :D
IRONHEADS RULE!!!

Ya still got it..still riding it..??
I wished you lived nearby and could rebuild my old 73 iron head. .. been sitting up 10 yrs.. last time rode it sounded like tin pans rattling and huge cloud of white smoke.. barely got home on it. ..... heads sounded horrible for the 1 or 2 years rode it.... sounded like hammers ping pang pong when picking up speed......piston would close the gap on rear Harley plug.. so I used split v's worked fine...only has 10k miles... how much would you charge old fellow like me to get her up to par like this video? powder coating or just original rough black paint on halves only none on covers? enjoyed your work and special care to make it 200% right!!!
Sorry I just do this as a hobby, I don't have much time for it
Nice. I have a 74 xlch that I rebuilt though the machine and case work were done by an local shop. Runs great however I would like to put stem seals on it. How much did you have to machine the retainers down? Or maybe a final measurement on the retainer itself. I ask that because I am running Manley Ti retainers and they may be a different size than stock. Thank you.
I machined the the shoulder off completely, basically turned it into a washer
@@hardrowcustoms6705 Thanks. I'll have to check the clearance, I'm running Andrews R5's with .445 lift. Not too much over stock but enough to check.
Did you shave down the upper or bottom retainers or did both? Asking because i didn't know about this and i got a hole through the one of my rockers boxes.
For the valve seals, I machined only the lowers
Nice job! What seals did you use for your valve stems? I am rebuilding my ironhead and would like to do the same. But have not been able to find seals.
I actually wouldn't suggest doing it, I can't remember where I got them but I know they did fit properly and had plenty of clearance from the springs yet somehow they got completely torn up, I noticed when changing some gaskets a year later, I removed them and don't run them anymore
@@hardrowcustoms6705do you think it wash the retainer or the springs?
Great video ! I have two 1976 ironheads I have to rebuild. How did the powder coating of the heads and jugs hold up? Any particular brand that is used for that high heat area? Thanks
I'm not sure of the brand, it was something the company i work for uses on specific parts, i dont think its any more heat resistant than the baking temps for powder paint, I could be wrong but it held up really great on all parts of the motor
@@hardrowcustoms6705 Thanks
Did you use fuel or water to check for leaks on the lapped valves?
Both, in the video its water but I also checked later with gasoline
Nice job. Any specs for making those tools you made?
There's 7 peices to it,
3/4-16 Threaded rod 4-1/4"L
3/4-16 threaded sleeve 2"L 1"OD
Another threaded sleeve 1"L ...
1-1/2 OD two flats cut on oposite sides threaded towards the center for the two handles (basicaly a thru threaded T-handle) 1/4-20 for the two handle threads
And two spacer/sleeves one is 2-1/2"L the other is 1-1/2"L both have an 1 inch +.01 clearance ID and 1.5 OD, a bit difficult to type it all
Good deal, thanks.
I have a ‘75 XLH 1000cc I need rebuilt too! What does that cost? Probably too much if I have to ask....
It all depends how far you want to go, it also cost alot more to have it done than to do it yourself
That’s my dream Ironhead engine build, you taking any customers!?
👍🇺🇸✌️
Hi, are you in business to rebuild ironheads?
Nah, i just build my own custom bikes as a hobby
