Installation of 95" 10:1 big bore kit on a 05 88" Harley Twin Cam. This is an upgrade most people can do in their garage. It's a little time consuming, but the power output makes it worth it.
Parts list: Cometic Gasket Kit C9844 & V Twin MFG 95" 10:1 kit 11-0075
In addition I replaced the lifters and oil pump, just because.

@bigrednick100 3 года назад

Just a few things. 1 always rotate the piston pin retaining clip to ensure it’s fully seated and so the opening doesn’t line up with the indentation on the position. 2. Why didn’t you just gap the rings in the cylinders on the bench and then install the piston? It would of been much easier. 3. Cometic gaskets come with updated torque specs for the head bolts. They no longer use the 90° turn method. Other then that it was a pretty solid video.

@KnobleMoto 3 года назад

Well since you asked: 1. If I could rotate the clip once it’s inside, that would mean it does not have any spring tension, and I would use a new wrist pin clip. 2. Because the light coming in my window generated a glare on the freshly machined cylinder that created a glare on the camera. So in effort of making things easier to see for the viewer, I did it on the bike so I could diffuse the lighting. 3. Cometic does have updated torque specs and they make a great product and I highly trust their engineering department. However if I give a spec that is different than the service manual, a bunch of self appointed video critics will get type-ee, and start lecturing about how I should not deviate from the service manual.

@bigrednick100 3 года назад

@@KnobleMoto I agree with all of that except the first point but to each their own. And you’re definitely right about people jumping on the manual bandwagon. The worst part is 90% have never actually turned a wrench and let’s say 8% of the remaining 10% have never done it professionally.

After the big bore kit do you feel a big power difference on the highway like top speed? Does it make having a 5 speed not so bad?

@KnobleMoto Год назад

Overall, yes. However I did the 510 cam first, and that alone made it pull much harder on the highway. Upped the top speed to about 118 from 105. I also dropped the commentator sprocket from at 25 to a 24. That helped it push the wind. The big bore kit turned everything up a few notches. Regarding the 5 speed: Twin Cams are like metric(Jap) bikes. Just twist the grip more and spin the snot out of it. The engine loves it. WITH the lower gear ratio, I would spin mine at 80+ all day long.

I switched to gear cams before I had a RU-vid channel. It is a fairly easy job. If you can do a big bore, you can do cams and vice-versa. You will need a few more special tools for cams. A press for bearings in the cam plate, and the inner cam bearing removal tool. I was able to borrow the tool after a Facebook post.

@@KnobleMoto all the head gaskets I’ve ever done from cosmetic have come with instructions for torque. It’s a 4 step with an actual torque value at the end. As a matter of fact their instructions are pretty adamant about doing it their way. Many hi-po shops recommend it also. That said, the original way, with 90deg turn should be very close. The issue is, with that method is a different gasket make up and it is with new studs, so the stretch is known and will be the same, with used studs, it could be off a bit at each one, and the compression of the gasket material, hence the known value for the last step. On such a mild build I seriously doubt you’ll have issues anyway. Just something to know for the future.

Is this a Russian Harley ? At time 12:29 better to push the ring down the cylinder somewhat with the piston, keeping it square. Not measuring the ring at the top. Also , at time 16:26 not so good to scratch the top of the piston with the ring . Wow! As I watch this video I see more things not looking good . I see no oil on the piston or rings , and most jobs put the piston on the rod first , GGG. I think you installed the piston that way cause of the type of ring compressor you had. Again, at time 28: 04 you torqued the head /cylinder down the wrong way.... Not to be torqued cross way, should have been torqued lowest bolt one one side first then highest bolt on same side , moving to other side lowest then highest.

@KnobleMoto 4 года назад

A small scratch on the top of the piston doesn't matter because that is not a contact surface. Everything was oiled that needed to be. I hope I didn't forget to mention any oiling steps in the video. Yes you lube all metal to metal surfaces with a heavy oil or assembly lube. I am not a pro cameraman or tv star, so a lot of this was done in multiple takes. The ring compressor came off at least 5 times (should have bought a better one). Anyways, the motor has 3k on it since this build and it runs strong. Thanks for you input. Tag me in your motor assembly video so I can see how you do it.

@@KnobleMoto .... In the video you didn't put one drop of oil on the ring. Also, while you were sliding the rings on the piston you scratched the side of the piston not the top of the piston, we all know scratching the top isn't a concern. Also, checking the rings at the top of the cylinder isn't correct . The ring should be down the bore an inch or so not at the top.

Everyone talks shit on Harley until they ride one that suits their interests. I hated the first two sportsters I rode, but my buddy let me ride his lowered EVO night train around the block I fell in love and bought a fxdls not long after. I’ve owned and rode numerous bikes and like most of them for what they are, but Harley’s have a loyal following for a reason.
