Lilah LaVey There's one for the book. The only downside to the dual harmonic vibration balancing shafts in the twin-cam block are the hell that they play with hydraulics. The twin cam-B motors have exceptional power, but god so help you if your cam support plate begins taking on the scarring action from the dual star-rotor oil pump . Allow one pinch of particulate matter in the oil and you've experienced why you should have changed the oiling system out in a twin-cam. The upgraded cam support plates do well, paired with the billet pump, but it seems like the guys who don't match everything else up have hydraulic lifters turning into jackhammers on an S&S 585 lift cam set. Worst valvetrain damage I've ever personally witnessed on a v-twin. As for the big rubber mounted 96"TC, what a rattle!

Lilah LaVey If only we could all afford a nice oscilloscope, power tuner, sniffer for NOX, and a laptop to tie it all in, we could have a "carburetor adjustment kit" for our electronically inclined bikes! You KNOW they get jealous watching us put all that love into tuning an S&S Super G over and over on that 1984.5 Shovel in the corner. All I have to do is hit the switch, hear the fuel injectors catch prime, and the rest is behind the exhaust.

Christopher Bohne' Oh, that 1st year of the TC88-B motors those oil pump would grenade (literally!) and fuck the whole motor! Bearings & shavings all in the galleries... it was amazing, SOOOO many of them came in for warranty. 2001 or 2000... If you want a magnacharger, forget it on the balanced motors. Too many chains, and the balance is so touchy it would fuck everything up. The more they do to make the motors more "efficient", the less cool shit you can do to draw power out. Shit, setta pipes & a new chip? And everything you do to it, ya gotta getta new download. Sucks.

God fell asleep during the valve overlap conversation that took place at Harley Davidson's new valve train design team. Perhaps my hearing just got better... more
