    Young man you have one of the key ingredients to being a good mechanic and that is a teachable spirit. The first step to gaining knowledge is to realize that you don’t know everything. The more I learn, the more that I realize I don’t know. At 64 I wish I had written down all those answers when I knew it all. Keep at it. Good job. You are on the right track.

      Thank you for the kind words and guidance Sir. I will reiterate to myself that it is okay to not know it all. I bet what you would write down now would be as valuable , if not more than the answers of the past.

    Back up 02:47 Never Pull the cover off before removing Pushrods the 170 pounds on each rod can bend the crankshaft pinion gear without the bushing in place Valve seat Pressure is 680 # on the Crank if valves are open 1400 pounds on the crank , Cam cover has 2 bushings for support. 7:07 Do not count on this working for proper cam end play , the gasket for the cam cover can be .025 to .040 th thick , your cam end play should be .001 to 0.15 on end play . Breather Has to be shim for end play .005 to .015 To get the right fit use a straight edge over crank case with the gasket in place and take a reading to the breather and cam with a feeler gauge , Gasket will mash .005 subtract the mash . 10:45 Not all Lifters work the same some are only finger tight others finger tight and 2 and half turn to 3 turns 0.100 th lash on the lifter , and let bleed down 15 to 30 minutes if you do not get bleed down back off only finger tighten. DO NOT TURN ENGINE OVER TILL YOU HAVE BLEED DOWN < a Pumped up lifter can damage a Valve piston to valve . I know your going by the Book but you jumped way ahead On this stuff that can Blow a Engine on start up or in a few hundred miles if not done right.

Nowadays i make sure the evo bikes i purchase are completely stock with the rivits still on the points cover, like that i know nobody opend it up. Caint trust what previous owners did.

      The EV27 is a nasty sounding cam without the need for a bunch of headwork and heavier springs. The EV27 WILL be going in my ultra classic. I built a mild 80" evo for my 92 softail and the cam along with new wiseco high compression pistons and rings alone woke T/F out of that bike. I sure do miss that old bike! Great tutorial! Your bike sounds great! Dis you ever time it? If not, you're leaving alot of potential behind

  • @rrider993
    @rrider993 Před 5 lety +5

    ....Did I miss the part about the importance of checking new cam to pinion gear fit ? If not done, you are mismatching the gears. Result is either whine or clatter...and premature wear. Check colour coding or use measurement pins....also, measurement of shim should include gasket compression...I believe both are right out of the manual and cam instructions...and shud be common HD knowledge.

    • @MaldonadosGarage
      @MaldonadosGarage  Před 5 lety +1

      Joe, you didn't miss it. I failed miserably on saying and showing it. When I reached this point all recording stopped; I was reading the manual and cam instructions terrified I was going to do it wrong. I had to order shims to get the correct spacing. I think my best bet now is to add a disclaimer. I didn't really find any videos out their with your knowledge that could help a #DIY guy. I figured an average #diy guy with a Harley probably knows they need to get instructions when performing an operation to this extent. but maybe not???.

      I was hoping someone would mention that point. There's a reason why Harley used a plastic breather. Just make sure it's not missing teeth, if so, replace it.. with another PLASTIC breather. It was missing teeth for a reason. Like Justin pointed out, if something gets jammed in those teeth, something's gotta give- better a plastic breather than a case. Ride safe everybody.

      And THIS Ladies and Gentlemen is valuable information that should be considered...
      IMHO I think steel is a little stronger than plastic and wouldn't break, or at least one hopes not.

Cam is .001 to .015 end play the breather 0.05 to 0.15 gap on end play S&S has the best Breather shims Ebay for 15 bucks 80th to 170th . Gaskets come in .025 to .040 Shims are the only way to close a gap use math add or subtract If the Gasket mush .005 and the Gap is 25th - 5 is 20 close it by 10 or15 th

Your motor could vibrate itself apart in 5 miles to 5000 miles. Maybe more. These pressures are very high. Although I know guys that have been building harley's for 40 years who don't believe this theory.

    you should install the cam the cover with the gasket and then no lifters install yet then move the cam back and forth to get the reading of cam play. just say`n... and yes you should remove the tension off the cam lifters first by removing the push rods presser not good to pull the support crank cover or called cam cover... and you did not really teach anything about the valve position to the lifters and how many turns in detail on correctly turning the adjusting nut and after you adjust a set of lifters wait about 30 mins before you move the engine ... let the oil bleed down in the lifters...

  • @nwinter9859
    @nwinter9859 Před 2 lety

    You didn't tell us that the OEM cam bearing has only 18 rollers in a nylon case, it can't stand up when a hotter cam is used . The bearing you need is a 29 roller bearing in a metal case . It's a torrington bearing,and harley always used them untill 1992 when they switched to the INA bearing. Next you didn't show how you held the tappets up when you slid the cam in . for those who have never done it , that can be a nightmare. Also never remove the cam cover with the OEM one piece push rods in place ,it exerts downward pressure on the bearing. Cut the OEM pushrods with biolt cutters , or remiove them by taking the riocker boxes off. If you cut them be sure to buy adjustable pushrods like S&S quicky pushrods , regular adjustable ones don't all colapse far enough to get them in place with the rocker boxes left on. very poor instruction video in my opinion.
