This morning went to my storage locker put on chrome crash bar for the Dyna then took a 50 mile ride in 64 degree weather down to the Atlantic Ocean ( Beach towns) occasionally looking down at my Delboy Garage hoodie patch marveling how nice and warm I was, then I came home to watch your Cam Install - I wish it was always on like a Tv show name Gearhead or Motor Trends / its like that pop song "more more more"
Rich
Thank you so much Richard, it sounds like you had a great day out, i'd love to have joined you on that ride.. Glad you like the Hoodie, they did a good job with them, real nice quality, and after all, thats what we need out on a bike, right.. Take care and ride safe sir.. Del.
You have absolutely perfect garage and I love your work culture, camera is where it should be and you even do not need to ask...Earlier tips and trick videos are worth for every bike owner - I can catch some from these too! Happy weekend!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoy the content and we really appreciate your feedback, take care and enjoy your weekend!
I'm enjoying watching this evolve . Rather than asking a ton of questions regarding the compatability of cams barrels pistons heads valves rockers push rods valve springs lifters and caps and so on . I'm just going to find out as you move forward . I've loved watching Tatro revamp dozens of Harley engines machining all the parts himself . Tatro has a machine shop but 99.9% of us don't. So that's what makes this interesting . ( getting parts that anyone can fit at home )
Hope this comes across ok ..
Peace and love to you both .👍🏻☮❤
Yes indeed mate, I agree, it would be great to be an engine builder, but I'm just a basic mechanic, like comparing a surgeon with a GP!... everything I use will be 'bolt-on' compatible and I'll be looking forward to getting in to the fabrication of body parts and other work too. Have a great weekend mate, keep safe and enjoy the sun, D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 👍🏻☮❤🤗❤❤❤❤
You know you are watching a great channel, when instead of being disappointed that a project is being held up due to supply chain issues, your first thought is: "Sweet, that means more episodes, and a guaranteed number of videos to look forward to!" I'm sorry that you are having customs/post delays though, my friend lol. Greedy me...
Thank you buddy, I appreciate that, it wasn't any particular delay, just I happened to order parts from the USA, most of the popular kits are in Europe, but not what I wanted so had to wait a little, plus a few of the gaskets were out of stock and as you know, you need to get all your ducks in a row before you pull the trigger, so all good, beginning filming re-assembly this week!
Hi Del. I'm an old geezer but I've been blessed with good health. If I ever need surgery some day I hope the doctor has the same attention to detail that you have. 😁 Thanks Dr. Del and Penny for another great chapter in this series. Cheers from the U.S.
Thank you kindly Sir, really appreciate those kind sentiments... have a great weekend there! D&Px
Hey Dell, I am NOT a wrencher, But thanks very much for these vidz as I am really learning things about what I see on my Sporty. My 91 still had the flyweights in it so advance the timing. a tiney
magnet w a fixed coil. . . those weights had to be greased every 2500 miles or one or I got stuck down in Venice, Fl and it cost me a good 250$ to get out of that mess. So yeah good maint. and knowing what has to be done and when...I got that changed out for the rotor style like I see here.
Glad to help mate, and that sounds like an expensive stop!
Easy way to line up cams is align 3&4 first. Then line up 1,2 and the pinion. 3&4 being lined puts 3 where it needs to be to line up with 2.
Wonderful explanation as always Del. Very thorough and maticulous to attention to detail. Really enjoying this build very much. You are making rapid progress. Its a pity you are held back with parts being stuck in customs. Wish we had you tube and a guru like you back in the 70's it wouldn't have been as expensive with the numerous mistakes trying to figure things out. Team DG are an inspiration to all. Have a great weekend U2! 🇸🇪🇬🇧😊👋🏻
Wow thank you Paul, I wish I had someone to watch in the 70's too, you're right, it would have made life easier! Glad you're enjoying the project, I'm still backed up waiting for parts, so the next couple of videos will be something interesting, and Harley focused, and then back to the build as the parts will be here by then! Enjoy your weekend too buddy, D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 Thanks for the reply Del. Intrigued to see the next couple of Harley video's for obvious reasons! Coming over to England next week for the first time in 2.5 years because of COVID. Hope there is still some creme eggs left, can't get them in Sweden. 🇸🇪🇬🇧😊👋🏻
@@clark7169 Too right there is, Supermarkets are full of them mate.. and they run a prize draw.. so if you get one that is half brown and half white..DON'T EAT IT @! they're worth £10,000 !!!
@@Moonfleet41 As much as I'd like to that's deffo to good a prize to pass on! Thanks for the heads up Del! 🇸🇪🇬🇧😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Another great video Del. I have the original XLH1100 Sportster engine from when I bought my bike in 1988, it is in bits at the moment. These series of videos will certainly help me when I come to rebuild it. Keep up the great work both of you.
Thanks Ray, that sounds like a rare ol' engine, have fun putting it back together, it's the best therapy you can get!
Very thorough & precise, nothing else will do in that situation 👏🏻 enjoy you’re weekend.
Thanks! You too buddy, and ride safe aye!
I see that newer Sportsters have bronze bushings instead of needle bearings in crankcase. Harley just keeps figuring out ways to cheapen their engines.
Nice job on the video. Really helped me with the rebuild. Thanks for uploading. 👍
Thoroughly enjoying this series.
Even had the kids watching.
Makes me want to race out to the shed and start working on my old Honda.
Many thanks Carl.
Nice trick to clean the threads of your bolts. I was using pick and brush but it took hours.
Hey team DBG, beautifully done as always. I am not a Harley guy but that makes zero difference - I still find your videos on the subject to be thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks for sharing - have a great weekend and keep safe!
Much appreciate your kind words of support, we know like you say, not everyone likes Harleys, but it's an honour to know you are following and enjoying this project, thank you!
It's so relaxing watching you work, and watching the lifters slide into their home was so satisfying lol. Awesome video mate.
Thanks Eric 👍, we really appreciate your kind words and support, ride safe!
Something stood out to me, and I was hoping you'd explain to me, so I understand why this method is important. You put assembly lube on the cams, so it stays wet and lubed during the time its sitting to prevent a dry start up but on the clutch pack you put either engine oil or primary or transmission oil on it. The clutch pack is going to be sitting just as long so wouldn't those parts dry out due to the oil running off after it's been sitting? Maybe I got distracted and missed that part if you already explained it.
Think it through mate.. start by considering that the cams, when stationary, are only touching at one tiny point...the rest being left to drain down.... the Clutch plates however... are in 100% full surface contact both sides, specially when staionary... so whould they drain down ?
You know I'm mechanically inclined but knowing the specifics... you're awesome. Love your work. I wish all mechanics worked like you do. Love and care
Thanks mate 👍
Interesting! And the cam cover is beautiful.
Thank you so much John.
Drop the followers in again that was just too satisfying!
That's a great instrutural video. Keep up the great work.
Hello Delboy, just did a dry/wet compression test on my 91 Sporty. about a 100 on both cylinders,
added about a tablespon oil both went up about 20 lbs. rear cyl blue smoke and oil fouled plug.
I'm guessing a bad valve seal? front cyl burning nice and clean.
After having a twin cam bike ive come to appreciate the design of the sportster cam chest far far more. My favorite project so far.
Thanks mate, I agree, gear driven cams have to be the best and most reliable set up, simple and effective aye?!
@@Moonfleet41 Definitely. Had a VFR800fi 2001 model with gear driven cams also. that bike was a joy to ride and probably the best bike ive ever had. Thou the Sporty is certanly the most characterful. Carb farts and all :p
Nice work Del and Penny. Thankyou kindly.
Our pleasure Darren, glad you enjoyed it.
That was good - like the talk through Del👍
Thanks Richard!
All is great but ... I can't get my head around about one thing: the bolts you are going to replace - why do you torque them to the spec, also applying Loctite??? Would not be sufficient as it is a temp fix, just to gently hand tight them to keep the cover on, without squashing new gasket? What is the reason behind doing it your way?
Won't be replacing them until much later once the cosmetic work begins, and Ill be building the engine up all the way to fire up and heat cycle and oil change.. thus they will need to be torqued in properly for that, and you can replace one bolt at a time without releasing the gasket pressure with no problems. !
My 1990 has thrustplate washers. Atleast I believe thats what its called. Where do they go
Do aftermarket cams have the same markings? On another note I need the T handle torque wrench. Where would a guy find one of those?
Not sure on the cams mate, there are so many you'd have to check the ones you are planning.. but here is a link to the T Handle torque wrench.. www.spanner-monkey.co.uk/Wiha-Torque-T-Handle-ST-Plus-TorqueVario-Set-29234?search=Wiha%20Torque%20Vario&description=true
As always loads of valuable advice and tips of the trade! Greatly appreciated Del! Wishing you both a great weekend! Till next time, cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it Shaun, always good to hear from you, have a great weekend Sir and keep safe!
I've found that 70w oil works well enough too when putting together a motor. But that's just me I suppose.
What are the arrow marks on #2 cam for ?
As I mentioned in the comments of your last video on the clutch change/primary cover installation, you should clean the existing bolts and either rust proof them with a torch and motor oil or use a cold blue compound. I think the blackened hardware would look great against the aluminum covers and a nice match with the black frame. The money you save by not purchasing expensive (and currently unobtainable) hardware could be better used in other areas of the bike.
Yes Paul, I saw your comment this morning, no need to post it again, if you stick with the project and sit back and enjoy the entertainment, you'll see all things covered by the time the bike's done mate.
@@Moonfleet41 No problem, I'll quit nagging about reusing the old hardware. It's your project, and you know what you're doing (I don't think you've disappointed anyone yet). lol!
Great step by step tutorial. Can you post the names of your Allen kit set, handheld torque wrench and ratchet screwdriver?
What's the link for the video on placing the heads? I'm needing torch specs
I like your videos,to the point,very good.Why did you decide to use the stock cams instead of another cam set something like Andrews N3s or 4s?Are those stock cams Ds? I am doing a 1200 conversion with '06 1200 heads,jugs and pistons that are low mile Ebay items on an '02 Sportster ADV bike I am building.
This is an old video mate.. if you check the playlist at the end, you'll see the bike is finished now, and it was a full restoration from the bare frame up... so things like cams were not in the budget sadly.. i had to work with what i had.. and im very happy with the result. Thanks for watching and good luck with yours.
Can't wait to see what you do with the front pulley cover or if you just omit it.
Sadly, the footpeg relies on this cover on this model so it'll be a re-shape and trim to tie in with the front one!
Cheers mate bloody good 1
Like a boss ! So educational! 🙏👊🏻
Thank you so much.
Yep, the Card bolt map is a great go-to.
That was really nice to watch, thanks. My respect for Harley Engineering increases, what lovely engineering, being well handled.
Thank you so much for those kind words Tony.. We're glad you enjoyed it!
Thats a proper fresh build. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses bruv. Stay safe and well peeps.🖖
Cheers buddy, glad you're enjoying it, up to my eyes this weekend so won't be able to join you, but have a great ride on Sunday.
@@Moonfleet41 no worries bruv. I'll enjoy it for us both lol. Catch ya soon peeps
Is the setting the same for 2017
Meticulous attention to detail as always Del
Have a lovely weekend you two.
Nick Australia
Thanks Nick, you too, the sun is shining so out on the Harley... you ride safe there too!
most have said before so there's not much too add, but excellent work Del and Penny. watching the videos is so relaxing. cheers
Glad you enjoy them mate, we appreciate your kind support and words.
Valuable information as always
Good explanations and tricks, Del. A Harley engine is very different from a Japanese multi, indeed. Wishing you a happy week,
Günter from Nürnberg/Germany
Thanks, you too Günter! They are a bit different to most other engines, simple and easy t work on for sure. Have a good week too. D&Px
I’ve e been watching your site for a bit. If I wanted to become a motorcycle mechanic, where/how would I start? How did you start?
Great video Del. Can’t wait for the 1200cc conversion. Which kit are going with? Hammer Performance, S&S or Screaming Eagle. There are several more out too.
Thanks buddy, I've had a tight budget to wrestle with and couldn't afford everything I wanted, and I do want to keep it as a surprise, if that's ok, but the answer is in those you listed for sure, thanks mate, looking forward to moving on!
@@Moonfleet41 no worries. This a great project.
Really enjoyed that
Awesome, thank you buddy!
No TDC for front cylinde?!
Great content 👌 and video 📹. Keep it coming ! 💯
Thank you! Will do!
How do you know it's top dead center.
Amazing series!! 👏 👏 👏
Thanks mate! 😃
Bloody marvellous video.Another visual treat.
You used to have a “Big Twin”- I would really love a ‘How to adjust Pushrods for Idiots’ video.
There’s a number out there: I’m willing to bet your would be the most understandable and most help.
Maybe some day buddy, like all these things, they have to come round in the course of maintenance, but if we do, you'll see it here! Thanks for your kind words.
nice work Del
Thanks Graham👍
Really enjoyed watching that D&P, even though I haven't got my Sportster anymore. Clear and precise as always.✌
Thanks mate👍, glad you enjoyed it!
I was just thinking Del about the fasteners. I don't know what the finish the new fasteners will have but if they are a high tensile steel fastener anyway then you could possibly oil treat the heads? Just a thought :)
God bless you both x
Thank you Marc, yes i could do that, it's be a long winded process, but save a fair bit of money, so lets see how the rest goes and what works best nearer the time.. have a great weekend and keep safe... D&Pxx
Going to the depth you are doing with the motor, wouldnt it have been wise to open up the bottom end, after all its going up almost 50% in cc's
Very rarely done Andy, the bottom end of these bikes are bomb proof, once you've got this far in and found cross hatching still fresh in the bores, cams barely run in and the pinion drive almost like new, you can take it for granted the bottom end is 100% fine, plus you've got to look up the price of the gaskets mate, it'll frighten you! I'm already up to over £250 on gaskets as it is, and the bottom end is that much again with all the bearings you'll need if you pull the crank out, and no point when you know it's good just by looking at the top end.
Honestly i thought you would sort out and put in Hooligan cams from S&S to give your project more umph, i'm planning on doing that to mine with the 1250 kit.
Honestly I wish I could, but just not in the budget mate.
i have said it before and i will keep saying it a joy to watch
Just loving this project Del. Its just not a good Friday without a visit to your workshop. What a great video. Also many thanks for the steer on where to get my workshop manual, its on a 8 week lead time but thats no issue👍
No worries buddy, for some reason Jersey have access to things other dealers don't, they always seem to come through for us... thanks for your kind support, have a great weekend!
Whose parts cleaner is that?
Do you mean who's? (mine) or the make?
@@Moonfleet41 The make, please. And is it available in the states?

Thanks Mark😁 !
Thanks Del great vid to the point no BS like all the others wanna bees
Thank you kindly Sir, glad you enjoyed it!
Superb Del, so interesting what lies beneath these covers eh?
Thanks buddy, we don't always need to know the inner working of things aye.. but it's all knowledge!
I found the channel when searching how to replace fork seals. Not been disappointed since
You planning on keeping the sportster or selling it?
Hi Keith, thanks for your long term support... generally I have to sell the bikes to pay for the next project, much as I'd love to keep them all, but at this early point in the project, I haven't even given that any thought yet!
It’s an education 🙂👍
Great clear and thorough video
Great video brother ! so much to learn ! this project is awesome. watching this with a cup of coffee eating some triscuits and enjoy life 👍 keep up the great work brother ! stay safe guys cheers from new york!!!🍷🍺
Hey Brother, good to hear from you, sounds like you're enjoying life for sure, spring coming now, time to drag the bike out and go ride..! Keep safe both of you and have a great week D&Px
Good stuff, are you going for a 42mm Mikuni ?
Sadly Not in the budget mate, but i will be hopefully fitting a Dynojet Thunderslide kit in the carb !
Have a look at Graphogen as an alternate to assembly lube
Why not fix some Se536 or Andrews N4 drop in cams?
I wish i could mate, just can't afford them!
@@Moonfleet41 i do forget
That it probably costs a decent bit to import that kinda stuff from the states
Hell yeah, picked up the piston kit today, already way into four figures and still parts to buy.!
@@Moonfleet41 jesus
I priced out a full 1275 kit
Stage 2 head work and mild cams for not much more than that
Living stateside has its perks i suppose
Just casually watching Del' lubing his cams whilst eating chocolate mousse... what's happening to me ??? 🤪 Next thing you know i'll be walking in to my local HD dealer 🤐
Resistance is futile..! lol
10/10 and a gold star 🌟 Del
Nah, let's make it a load of 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Cut down cover is very, very nice too! Have a smashing weekend yous two.
Thanks so much Bary, im glad you like it, i think the cut down cover will fit in really well with the build as the look evolves.. Have a great weekend buddy and ride safe.
What is that crazy gear drive screw drive
That's the ratchet driver from the Wera Zyklop kit, a fabulous little set that I carry with me on the bike as well as use in the garage!

Del is the best..hands down
Thank you.
Great to see things going back together so soon after the start. Shame about parts availability but seems to be the normal situation these days. I’d offer to help but shipping out to you would probably take longer than what you’re already experiencing
Thank you brother, I appreciate that, I finally got all the parts, only picked them up yesterday, so we'll begin filming the re-assembly this coming week!... Have a fabulous weekend and thank you for your constant support!
@@Moonfleet41 if you think the cost is comparable or the timing is worth it let me know. Also lots of used parts in my area.
@@myz06rocks Thanks so much for that kind offer, ive finally got everything i initially needed now, it just needed time to float over the pond.. i didn't want to order it all until id had a look inside the motor, and that meant that the usual procedure of ordering parts and getting them all in before starting a job wasn't an option this time.. Ill start filming the top end rebuild this week..
Just commented on matts page he’s a right arse gives you some shit and to be honest he’s dead jealous of your channel sounds like it he’s a right amateur totally boring he wanders away what to say next 🧐 keep up the good work love your video Del
Too bad you don't have good cams, you'll be wasting a lot of money on the big bore kit without them!
Really miss the “tinkering” especially now I’m watching this. Nice job fella.
Sorry to hear that brother, it's a shame you can't maybe get together and rent a shared space with someone, almost like a club garage basis, I'm sure there are other people in our position, and I'm sure you've still got all the tools and equipment ready to go... take it easy and have a great weekend both, D&Px
Nice one Del !
