EVO Harley Cylinder Head Rebuild - Engine Tear Down Series - Kevin Baxter - Pro Twin Performance 

Your knowledge and integrity are commendable! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with many who appreciate your comments and professional manner! Hope your channel grows nd grows!

Should have waaaaaaay more subs ... A channel that provides no nonsense, informative information on HD's, imparted with humour and humility is rare in the RU-vid jungle. Kudo's Sir.👍🙂

My engine is most definitely in good hands!

We used to shim based upon installed height. No one had a spring tension gauge! Also: we also always cut the seat and valve so it would narrow the seat and place the actual contact in the right place on the seat face. A wide seat face always required more pressure to seal

Thank you so much for these Evo vids Kevin we really appreciate it and I have learnt a lot from your channel 🙏🏁🏆

Very well done Kevin. Gotta love that attention to detail. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge.

Thanks for the EVO coverage, Kevin!

Thanks, Kevin

that one of the things i loved about my ol shovels. it wasn't shit to freshen them up. lap the valves, hone the cylinders, and slap a new set of rings in. I think on my 71 i did the bottom end twice ,no telling hoow many times the top changed the push rods and lifters a couple times but i put well over 1/2 a million miles on that bike. its still out there and in service.

Evo is the best sounding engine hands down

Thanks for your time @Kevin, and for the knowledge you're constantly sharing with us. I'm confident that the target of 50,000 subs will be reached by the end of the year. Take care.

Thank you very much for doing this series. The more info I get, the more i know and can put it to work for myself. Knowledge is a wonderful thing. Later

Thank you for sharing with us.

Great stuff here, Kevin. Hey I went back and watched your Live on crankshafts and the Man O War Compensator video. I love that statement about how a guy can go buy all these top components, but they don’t always produce the performance you hope for. They have to fit with each other. How do you know? That would suck to buy an Evolution Clutch, Darkhorse compensator, add in Feuling oil pump, their cam plate, their BA air cleaner, non adjustable rods, RS 468 Cam, a Thundermax tuner and D&D Exhaust and find my bike under-performs! Lol. I’ve heard guys get recommends from their local shops and miss it at times too? How do you know your components are a great fit together? Thanks Kev!

Very good video lots of great information packed in there!!! Thank you Kevin for taking the time to make this video

Amazing! Informative up over and beyond! Answers to questions I never would've realized! Thank you sir!

I would hope after seeing what's involved with just " checking" a set of heads out, customers understand how much work is needed, and why it costs money when no actual machine work is needed.

Very informative Kevin. Thank you.

Keep up the great work Kevin - I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge, especially on the Evo stuff 👍

I know who I want to rebuild my engines

Thank you for the detailed explanation on the cylinder head rebuild. Not too sure if you have done a video sharing the golden porting cylinder head rules (similar to the David Vizard series) when building high performance H-D engines. Complex and very interesting subject that is often overlooked by H-D engine builders.

Much appreciated, Kevin!

When I was working in a toolroom making punches and dies for Heading Machines (bolt, screw, rivet making) we used to use lightly melted red sulphur poured into the bores (which were often a similar size to your valve stem). We would then push the solidified red sulphur out and measure that with our micrometer. It was accurate.

I’m a bit late to watch this! But have to say - after all that precision of measuring, measuring time by train passing by !!! “…late night train… must be 10 pm…” That’s funny ! It just shows what is more important !!! 👌👍💪

I've been wanting to see a valve video, and here it is! - great stuff. Also, with as many of us being from Ohio as it seems, you should put us in touch with one another so we can have a meetup. I'll buy the 11th round...

Thank you for all the great knowledge you share with us.

All I could think of is the spring in the pound checking machine flying off . There must have been a safety rod through the center ?

Well done Mr. Baxter!

Nice vid very instructive

Thanks Kevin. Still watching the video and learning so much about it. Like the first comment about owner riding the snot out of it. Lol

Thank you so much for your videos. I have a question on installing pistons and cylinders, what size piston compressor do you use on the evo motor?

Great video! 🏍💨🏍💨

Kevin thank you for the content you bring it helps me listen and truly hear my engine, trans and primary I have an 06 road king completely stock except for Reinhardt slip ons 30000 miles runs amazing I would like to put a tuner on it just to help keep all the systems operating the way they should which timer do you recommend and thank you for the channel love it

Great Video Kevin. Learning...

Next time a customer asks why does it cost me anything just to have you check something out, hand them a couple of the tools you use to check things out, then tell them how much those tools cost.

I'd blamed adjustable pushrods .

Kevin when you say bead blasting do you mean glass beads....I here that can cause issues with contamination later... Is Vapor blasting a better alternative..... or am I confusing the two... Thanks for your videos enjoy them....

Great video again Kevin. Try and get some rest, your eyes looking a little heavy.

With a 600 lift cam, has the owner done anything to up the compression?

If the guy has side load wear showing up and it’s obvious that he has modified this engine why is he not running roller rockers? I just did a 131 kit on my m8 and I installed roller rockers. I run them in every engine I can get them for, not necessarily for wear but also for heat. Just my thoughts, thanks!

hey kevin, i have a question... if i'm understanding you correctly, you're adding a shim underneath the coil, right? due to the constant coil compression and decompression does one have to worry about the shim "mushrooming" out after X number of miles?

I currently own a twin cam 103 but may be buying a 1998 Evo. This could be helpful!

Is that the same position as the failed tappet?

Great video! Curious … a .600 lift cam in a 80”? What is the cubic inch of this motor? That’s seems a really big cam unless there’s been extensive head/valve work? Are valves standard size? You have me curious?

where is your shop? thanks.

Remember when a train horn blows, it’s time to go home.

Your forgetting rocker arm ratio on valves spring measurement

Your mean .0012" thats 12 tenthousands not 1.2"

Having washed a stack of your video's , They seems to justify my suspicions that Harley's are overrated unreliable and overpriced.
