A channel I subscribe to; Its My Time, Lets Go did the same bushing replacement but machined it to take double seals in his latest video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lflzAxVJPOc.html
What a wel filmed, explained and extremely important how to video. I really appreciate all the extra info like reaming, tool, axial load play and showing the good vs the bad. Your knowledge and videos are so good!
Another very informative vlog , one thing that drives me crazy, is bloody imperial , I'm tempted to convert my old softail to metric 😆 anyhow thanks for the lesson phil 👍✌
Hi Phil, watched some of your videos, very good and informative. can I pick your brain please? I have a 94 road king. I had one of the lifters bearings shit itself. I replaced all the lifters and the camshaft. still running the standard pushrods. issue I have is the oil is not getting from the oil tank to the engine? I have tried numerous ways of priming the engine. with the oil tank under the gearbox, gravity does not work? any suggestions please? cheers Troy.
thanks for that video, dude! it’s really useful, but what to do if I have an ironhead? can I do exactly the same steps on it? because I need to take off the clutch cover 🤔 thank you! greetings from Russia!
Yes its a little more difficult with a sportster. You'll have to use the clear bung in the case. But yes, process is exactly the same just work out what timing marks your flywheels have.
Converted similar to yours earlier . . front end , I adapted on lathe & mill a Rollies AI Cycles engineering kit wide front end to , well . . skinny original allow front rim . . to same as rear nine spoke . . FXS 80/82 were twin disc front brakes so had to extra disc Gumtree to suit the new back/front wheel . . all worked out brilliant (next time that on models linear done that 'style' was on Roadkings Evo) . . people still clap & cheer & come at me at carparks
It's a trip all round these shovels going down drag strip old time Oz Bike magazine , but yeah previous comment about reprogram of the shovel edition Dyna 2000i electronic . . was main about , at time was only ignition system on sale to use the twin plug heads had on the 82 FXS (only not original thing on when bought it Darwin Dyna cycle closing down sale) . . yes I can research now without bother you current systems ignition . . but is pander to twin plug heads any real good (sure backup spark) . . anyway , I just plumbed my 'wet sump ' crank breather back into oil tank . . good info into how to recon the oil pump knew the issue , but waiting on the boffin . . the kick starting issue with Dyna 2000i occurred when I knew the car battery dead but pushed luck & it died Toms Gully NT (apparent when stock issued that ignition needs three whole revolutions to fire to clear backfire) . . but as usual roadworks between & saw the stop sign & just coasted off into bush not wanting to make laughing stock of self kicking at the light & hitched into Adelaide River , bought a small car battery from Glen the fine fellow small servo . . hitched back to bike & bobs your uncle
This was so thoroughly done and signifcantly important. Very well filmed, described, appreciate the slow mo so we could see the timing marks. Everyone always thinks they know how to do this but your description was great because it had the basics, the mid level wrench and the advanced tuner in mind. Excellent!! Phil you the man
Back in the '90s I put a Rev-Tech dual fire ignition in an EVO. This is dual points to make single-fire ignition with a points-type system. Basically, do what you did on this video, do it again for the rear cylinder. It ran great, but replacement points/condensers became unobtanium, so I was forced back to electronic single-fire systems.
Replacing the stator. Adjusting the pushrods. Adjusting S&S super e Rebuilding a 4 speed transmission Good video, watched a lowbrow one on timing a couple years ago and was left scratching my head
Use a long screwdriver as a stethoscope on a running engine to pinpoint the origin of noises. Rocker shafts can be Shimmed @ assembly to eliminate chatter. The external plumbing on 81-82 engines was an attempt to scavenge oil from the lifter blocks using a vacuum from the piston on up-stroke. In 83 they went back to the prior design.
Thanks for your opinion Kurt! Unfortunately engine is not in “assembly” condition to shim rockers. As for the external plumbing, when I removed pipes to the barrels and turned the engine over the hoses had positive oil pressure coming out of the lifters.
Yes, the rocker Shafts should have been Shimmed during assembly. Like i said - The hoses evacuate oil from the lifter blocks into the case. They do not use the normal route to drain through the cam cover. The idea was to stop leakage at the bottom of the pushrods caused by puddling due to slow return.
Also my m8 softail 2018 makes a ton of valvetrain noise , so many posts on the internet "what is this loud noise", m8 earning the name of sewing machine, but its so noisy with stock exhaust haha.
i have an 81 shovel motor in my chopper, specifically 1981 fltc based on the vin... i dont know for certain but ive seen several "original" models that have this oil setup from cylinder to lifter blocks. its unusual for sure, i guess it cant hurt??? always funny to see another one in the wild
Great vlog , that diagnosis for top end noise was great , I wouldn't have thought to check the wheels on the lifters so thoroughly , a very big thanks for the future ! , ps now you can sleep well knowing that hundreds of old Harley owners have got lifters failure anxiety forever , I've got go lie down now 😝👍✌
Excellent workmanship. Retired steel fabricator, i appreciate the amount of detail and work you put into the frame. Glad to see the frame was brought back .
@@PhilsWorks I had no idea about that ball. I just thought it was something old Harley’s did haha. Thanks for the video man, I’ve watched every one. You are a wealth of knowledge. Cheers!
