I watched this entire video trying to figure out how I could fly this dude out to do all my motor work. By far, this is one of the best, most detailed cam videos I've ever seen. His pride, knowledge and attention to detail was spot on as well. Great job.

Such a great instructor. I’m no mechanic but with you, step by step, I think I could do it.

I a retired Machinist of 36 years and this was the best tutorial I have ever seen. This guy should be an instructor. I would love to do an Apprenticeship with him.

Almost every time I’m installing an upgrade on my RKS I hear Patrick in my head. I replayed this video more times than I care to admit while installing my new cam. Thank you for all the help, Patrick!

As someone who has rebuilt various engines, this is simply the best video you will see on camshaft removal and installation on an M8. Well done J&P 👏👏👏

Thanks Patrick!!! I just installed this kit, with the 465C cam, by using this video. It worked! I would say pretty much any viewer can do the same. I just kept rewinding the video on my phone as I did the work and copied him exactly. I have to say that this video is all you need for instructions to install this kit. Took me one weekend. The biggest time sucker on this job was to procure all the right tools, bearing puller/installer tool, and funky allen and torks sizes for the various Harley-Davidson screws/bolts. Every time I thought I had what I needed, I then needed a different size. SUPER IMPORTANT: THERE IS A NEW SEAL YOU WILL NEED THAT IS NOT IN THE VIDEO! It will go behind the new oil pump just before you install the oil pump!!! There is a 2" diameter by 1/8" wide groove on the back of the new S&S oil pump for it. Harley-Davidson holds the patent on this special seal, so you can only get it from Harley-Davidson. S&S doesn't give you one with their kit because they aren't allowed to. That is why it is not in the video above and not in the S&S kit written instructions either. It will be the first thing you do when pushing on the new oil pump. Make sure you have it on the back of the new oil pump first!!! Harley-Davidson Part Number for this very important seal is 62400205. Cost me I think $15. You will need this special seal or your work is for nothing and the motor will be ruined without it. You will need one even on the 2018 model M8, which didn't come with one on the original HD oil pump in the first place. Just get the new seal by the part number, not the bike year. Anyone thinking about installing a S&S 465C cam kit with oil pump, cam plate, lifter anti-rotation pieces, tappets, pushrods into their stock M8 107, Just Do It Now! Your labor=Free, S&S kit with cam is about $1800. Night and day difference, Night and day! The exhaust note doubled in loudness and the galloping idle lope is intoxicating! My stock 2018 107 M8 Deluxe used to drop off power at 4000rpms like the brakes were being applied. Not any more! it just keeps going faster and faster, pulling and pulling. I gotta say it again, Night and Day difference!!!

Just installed the 475c Kit used this video and some others for references. I have never done this to a motorcycle before. Took my time and was like a walk in the park. Thanks for the video saved me some money and I get to say that I did the work myself!

Excellent video! I've seen a lot of these types of tutorials ... this is one of the best. For those who wonder if they can do the work themselves ... you have to ask yourself if the guy you are paying hours of labor has the same attention to detail as Patrick when it comes to torque specs, clearances, o-ring installation, cleanliness, "Oops-I-dropped-the-camshaft-on-the-floor, it-looks-ok-to-me", etc. You'll never know, unless you do the work YOURSELF!

Out of ALL the videos I have watched on all kinds of different things.. this is by far the best one I've seen. You're taking your time explaining something very well to people that has never done something like this. Thank you for a great video!!!

Been working on harleys for 40 years This feller is very thorough and explains things very very well.many people dont wish to install the S+S cam plate or oil pump which is crazy but the extra expense deters many customers

I've been looking for this video for months now. Great walkthrough!

I love this cam upgrade videos. Been watching several Harley kit upgrades. This was very well done!

This video is by far the best detailed and explained video on RU-vid... Great job explaining every aspect of the removal/install

Great video! Wish this video came out when I put my s&s cam in, I had a lot of questions that needed to be answered but I got it done!

Anyone who watches a DIY video NEEEDS clear, step by step details. Certainly got them here. Not something I'm doing but watched the whole video anyway. Great job sir!! Thanks..

great video, super detailed. Love the paperclip trick and the use of the specialty tools.

Thanks for the totally awesome instructional video. After watching this I am quite confident I could do this. of course the bike wqould then have to be tuned but this makes it look SIMPLE to do the swap. Ive already ordered the 465 kit

awesome video , I got an S&S camchest kit, with a different cam, took me about 7 hours, the longest was taking the tappet blocks on and putting them back on. it was tedious .

Absolutely the best cam install video I've seen, excellent.

Thank you Patrick and JP Cycles. I did my M8 cam upgrade following your excellent instructions.

Watched this video a few times. Just successfully installed a Star 30/30 cam on my '20 114ci RGS. Thanks for all this info. It sounds like a beast now

Great video, I just installed the whole kit with this video.....great instructor!

Fantastic video i couldn't do anything like this but love watching a professional at work you explain every little detail awesome

I love your videos, your a great instructor and really have a knack for explaining things

Excellent video!!! I have watched several videos on how to install the Cam and Oil pump and this by far was the Best! Thank you! This just saved me tons of money. Plus doing the work my self I know it was done right! Great job sir!

This is really a great video for the process!! Great instructor thanks!!

That was really awesome to watch. I always learn a lot from watching you guys do these kinds of jobs. Thanks a lot. Eric, central Florida

Another outstanding video by J & P!! Thanks for your efforts and stellar instructional videos!! AND superior products online! I buy from you often! Next up for me: a RED SHIFT 468 camshaft upgrade on my 2019 Special!

Badass and very helpful to get me set up to do mine tonight!

I'm sure you know what you're doing but since you took the cam cover off anyway, why didn't you take it off before you cut your push rods? You need to show these new DIY guys that the timing marks are your best friend for finding TDC. For you guys who don't know, when the timing marks are aligned on the two sprockets, you are at TDC on the rear cylinder. Cut your rear pushrods now. Rotate the engine 360 degrees so that the dot on the pinion sprocket is back to the top and the dot on the cam sprocket is at the top also, cut your front push rods. So much easier and precise than the method you are showing in the video.

That was one of the best step by step installs I’ve ever watched. Finally someone showed what puller and how it’s used to remove and install the inner cam bearing. I was wondering if you installed new tappets with this cam swap? Great video! Thanks !!

Fantastic video, thank you for posting. Super clear.

Patrick, awesome job, great explanation, very thorough, made it easy to understand, thank you very much 🙏

Excellent detail and description of specialty tools required

Great video! no step was overlooked, and everything was explained perfect

Excellent video. I believe I now have the confidence to do my own installation when i get all my parts. Thanks!!

maaaaaan best M8 Cam install video out there !!! great job J&P Cycles!!!!!!

Great video, Very thorough ! And answered at some point or another a few questions I had before tackling this project. 👍🏼 thanks

What a brilliant video whilst in lock down. What a great job Patrick.

Great video, i dont have plans to do this at the moment, but good to know it can be done with the tools i have

Awesome video brother. I hope to see further videos from you. Great job. Thank you sir.

You definitely should be my instructor because your step by step method and explanatory is on point thank you for the time and effort on your u tube video your the truth that is why I subscribe to your channel looking forward for more

This is the best M8 Cam change video I have seen Thank you very much !!!!!!!!

I enjoy these instructional videos tremendously!

Great job of explaining every step. Much better than just doing it and not saying anything.

Excellent video & concise explanation, thank you.

dis guys should get an educational award very very good instructions and steps this will help me alot keep up da good work

One thing, no mention on runout on output shaft. S&S has specifics on run out prior to installation. So you may have purchased something you can not use. Runout is important. Always check pinion runout.

Thank you Patrick you rock!

As with all of your videos, well illustrated, well explained, and well done! Thank your sir!

Very high detailed! Thanks!! 👍👍

Great tutorial brother, thank you for the information

Great job very educational keep up the videos thanks

Awesome video the step by step instructions by far the Best video cam install out there. 5 ⭐️.

Awesome video. Thanks!

great job man love all the detail

Excellent video, very thorough. One note, S&S also makes an after market cam chain tensioner. While you have it apart, may as well install that too.

Very informative, well done !

Great Video. Very detailed!

Excellent video 👍🏻

Did my cams by my self by watching your video thank you

Thanks for a great instructional video.. Master Technician!

EXCELLENT video! Thank you!

Hands down great video! Better explained then my MMI class. Maybe it was due to COVID.. half online and half in person. Either way, great video!!

Excellent instructional video, Thanks

Excellent video! Really enjoyed it and everything was very well explained. 10/10 liked and subscribed.

Excellent video. Fantastic detailed walk through, thank you so much for sharing. Cheers

Awesome video and awesome teacher. Great job Bud.

Great video it helped me do this project myself.. saved a ton of money

Awesome. Glad you finally put out a video on the M8 cam swap. Been waiting. Looks pretty much the same as the V-Twin. How long did it actually take you? Love the simple instruction and clear camera angles of your videos. Makes it even more tempting to take on the task.

Best video for my HD! thanks Men

Great video, I think the only thing left out, unless I missed it, was soaking and shooting some oil into the lifters prior to install to get the air out. Not sure if that's necessary, but that is what I was taught by some solid technicians. Every step was easily communicated and this is my favorite cam install video on RU-vid.

Wow what a great video. Thanks!

OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!

Thank you...that was awesome!

excellant video very informative andeasy to understand him ! nice job ! i was panicing on what i was gonna do if or when my 02 softail needed to have the cam upgrades done becauseim used to ole shovels and pans evos so not really wanting to attack this job and being a broke ass cant afford to have sombody do it for me i feel much more at ease knowing i just need some more tools which i think i can barrow or rent from a local shop so just need the parts now ! thank you for this boost of confadence !

Thank you Patrick

Really makes you appreciate and want to hold onto your old evo big twin ! Haha just bustin balls great video !

Very well done video

man i would like you to work on my bike, such a relaxed knowledgeable person.

Great tutorial! Thanks

Excellent mate!!

Thanks 🙏 Great Job !

Great video!

Great job with the video I felt like a student in a classroom while watching it..

Great video bro thanks

That was intense! Will definitely be paying a master mechanic to do this job

Great to see This so in depth perfect instructions very professional I wish when paying for these installs at our local Harley shops they would let the owners watch them I always wondered with a s&s kit would the Harley tech or person go to this exact procedure as in every detail you explained great video

Great video sir

You are the best teacher I ever watched on videos. You answered all those little questions that come into mind while wrenching. Thanks you.

This is an amazing video TKS

Excellent!!

Great job and video thanks

Working at a harley dealer, we use the screaming eagle adjustable pushrod kit and fueling tappets. No waiting tlfor anything to drain. It's instant. We can do every lifter and pushrod setup within a few minutes.

Best video ever!!!

The S&S kit I got came with a new chain tensioner too. It was a pretty complete kit, minus the special Harley-Davidson seal for the back of the oil pump.

Well produced video.

Nicely Done ✌🏻☕️👍🏻

To make finding the base circles easier for install of push rods, before you install the tappet block covers, with the top of the tappets visible, could you rotate and mark on the cam sprocket where the F and R base circles are? Seems easier then trying to finger it with the tappet covers on. Great video by the way, i'm knee deep in the middle of my cam swap and not looking forward to trying to identify the base circles with the covers on. Anyway, thanks for the information!!
