HARLEY Davidson SHOVELHEAD Solid LIFTERS And CAMSHAFT Replacement INSTALL For HYDRAULIC & OEM CAM 

We are uplifted by your successes, and patient with your challenges. And I always learn something new. Thanks brotherman~~

You are a great mechanic. Don’t let anyone tell you anything different, not even yourself. I love your videos, very entertaining and knowledgeable. I have friends that have been riding over 30 years that can’t change a freaking spark plug or their oil, sometimes it’s embarrassing 😂😂😂

Man, that cam had to have been SLAMMING into the lifter! You should pick up a lot of torque with the valves staying closed when they are supposed to be closed. Your springs probably breathed a big sigh of relief, too! Ol' Pacific Mike has ALL his ducks in a row, don't he? I can't wait to see him get back on the Big Flathead....Thanks for bringing us along, Tramp...That's a funkadelic soundtrack, too! It helps take away the sadness from not being able to ride without getting rained on. This has been one rainy summer! Good camerawork, Tha Missus! :) Enjoy your weekend, err'body!

Timely video. I’m replacing the cam on my 1970 Shovel. I’ve seen some pointers. How are you adjusting the gap on your cam? I didn’t see what size spacer you used. I think there supposed to be 40thousands between end on cam and cam chest cover. The gasket leaves some space too. Thanks for posting.

Glad you’re back. I have been wanting to check the cam bearing on my 93 Heritage since I heard they put an INA bearing in them that year. It has had a cam and lifter change (Jim’s Hydrosolids) and adjustable pushrods. I pulled them out and checked them when I bought it because I read the lifters needed changing around thirty thousand miles but I didn’t check the cam bearing because I didn’t know at the time about the INA bearing. I’m hoping it’s been changed since they did the cam and lifter swap. Always learn something from you.

Good to see you and Kim. Good video. I wish I could do the things you do, I would save a lot of money. That was so nice to see Mark, He was nice to talk to when I was there. Tell him I say hi. Stay well and keep the chin up, we all have down days. This to shall pass. Stay safe and well Buddy.

That's my idea of church.

Amen Brother 🙏

Good job Tramp!!!! Like you, I’ve always pumped up hydraulic lifters with oil, I thought that was mandatory!!! But what do i know. And man you really struck a chord with me, when you said “ you just didn’t feel like filming lately “ and it’s not a “how to “ “ step by step” channel. I consider you one of the real “OG” wrenching and riding motorcycle content RU-vidrs, I’ve only been making RU-vid content seriously for like 4 months now, and i too get in those moods like i just don’t feel like filming, i just wanna wrench in private, and i too dam sure don’t wanna film a step by step video, cuz im no expert, and half the time im fumbling my way through, and learning as i go along!!! Lol. Moral of my story is don’t worry about step by step how to, we just enjoy tagging along with ya in your garage and in your travels, so love it or leave it , that’s my motto putting out this RU-vid stuff. What brings me to your channel is your raw honesty, and that you’ll show your mistakes and mess ups, that we ALL do!!! So keep your head up and keep on doing what your doing!!!! 👍 SLICK

I was reaching for my pocket flashlight when you were looking at your timing marks. It’s become as necessary for me as a pocket knife. It’s amazing how many times a day I use it.

Well tramp you gave me motivation to open up the cam chest in my twin cam 96 in my softail and check the tensioner shoes and just an overall inspection. Having church at the bike shop was cool too. Need more of that. This world needs Jesus!

Second. Praise God.

Did you check the cam endplay What was the the endplay

Good vid... Just speculation on cause of the side to side play in adjustment = MIGHT be wear in lifters / lifter block...Seems like it is sorted out .. old saying = "If it ain't broke don't fix it" comes to mind ....Guess a test ride once it stops raining there will give you the complete answer...No noise that was there previously is a good indicator...>> You "dig deep" into your motorcycles with successful results for someone that claims to not be a pro mechanic...LOL!

I just thought the Humidity had you down.

Hello! That is a nice sound, i like to hear! :) Have nothing, but respect for people who can fix their bikes! Take care! ~ Hardy MAAS

I do know the different pushrods have different thread pitches many more threads per inch so you almost have to know who made the pushrods so you can figure out how many threads per inch.😊 Then you have to know what is the total up-and-down movement of your tapit or hydraulic lifter however you wish to call it. And did knowing those two figures you know you just said it in between so if it's I got a half an inch up and down in the tappet you said it a quarter inch going into the tapping that's about as much as I know. I've always liked to keep the original non-adjustable pushrods if all possible cuz I have been bent the adjustable ones

It's a beautiful thing to admit your love for Christ ! Props to you Corey...AKA ST !

Take a break Bud...it's clearly in your eyes. You need to unplug and go be you again before all this. When you have something you want to share, we'll still be here...keep the rubber on the road and the wind in your hair...later

I can’t shoot install videos. I just want to ride them! I just want to get them fixed and on the road. I’m not entertaining enough as Professional Monkey lol.

Good to see you. I met you and your wife at Barber Vintage event last year (lunch time).. I have your sticker on my computer and it reminds me of the event and you two nice people. Glad you got that thing running good! I have been an avid biker for 57 years.

In my experience you are going to lose between 5 and 600 rpm on top by using hydraulic lifters instead of solids.

hi! i replaсed lifters to s&s - good stuff, but not chaep , 1800 miles on it now

What can i say.......educational, entertaining........just great fun to watch. And.....you"re very much underestimating your mechanical skills. 😃👍 Hope the rain stopped and you get some dry sunny days to ride those bikes. 🤘👋

Very cool a building doesn't make a church. I like your installation of the cam you kept me interested the entire video.

At least you are doing it... I also enjoy wrenching :-)

Love your vids. And it’s also great that you’re a brother in Christ as well.

Ride on 👍🏻sometimes you just gotta rinse and repeat

Love your videos. Always entertaining and informative. Also love your stand for the Lord. Hate that you’re going through a hard time. Just keep trusting in Him,🙏🏻😁.

Pacific Mike is a great guy he lets me know what I need you just have to give him all the info needed he's forgotten more than I think I may know 😂

It's alive, it's alive! Fired right up like a Honda. 😄 Maybe what you should say is don't try this at home. I'm a professional back yard wrencher.

I love your honesty and even if I know the edited vid makes you look like a better mechanic than you are you ARE a way better one than I. ;). I'm kinda glad though cause I'd have a garage AND back yard full of bikes in various stages of needing work instead of the one bike I take in once in a while. PS: My best friend as a teenager was in that movie. Sho Nuff!!

Great video .. I woud have used a bit of heat on that gear to make removal and install a bit easier ...

What cam are you going with, I would say the anderws n1 cam is the best cam you can run in a stock late model shovel .tell us what cam you went with .

My 94 evo road king just had a cam problem. Did a cam, lifter and push rod replacement. I did not use the old gear. Hope not swapping the gear does not cause a problem. It has had work on the cam chest done before. Maybe not a problem? I need to go over my push rod adjustment again 😢

I’m the same way brother some times I get into those moods i just don’t feel like doing it any and then it’s done I’m ready to go again

Your bike secondary (final drive) ratio 48/23? Not good?? I try my shovelhead 51/24

Great video as usual! Don't worry about how many videos you make, just make them when you can!

👍, from Ireland dude, proper old skool..........

Damn...miss ya dude !!!

Bummer,,,, get it all good to go an mother nature has to, as they say😂😂😂,, rain on the parade. I usually prefer to take my, 03 anniversary heritage springer.

Sounds sweet. I wish i'd bought that bike.

You will here ticky tacky when those solids start getting loose in about 500 miles so get use to adjusting them on a regular basis. Enjoy your shovel ride safe.

It’s Back And it’s Alive. Do you know if Scooters carry’s shirt’s in a 4X ?.

Cool vid man, always watching from here in NZ. God bless you and the Mrs.

Amen

Love your channel. Where can I get one of those cross patches that you have on your vest? Not many riders out there displaying the faith. Keep it up!

Faith in GOD and the rubber side down.

Nice Job getting it done!

You are such a fantastic person...doin' the things that you do, Motorcycle wise spoken, with the exception of talking about religion. Again, as I have said before; I am here for you as a person, I am here for your motorcycle content, but I am most certainly not here to hear you talk about the made up buddy for grownups in the sky. We obviously have a different point of view about this, now that's OK, just as long as we do not confront each other with our unnecessary points of views since we're not going to agree about this subject anyway. So again; keep this channel religion free and I will stay and follow you! Or, keep on making religious content and I am out of here permanently! Your choice ! Just for your information: I'd rather stay... Darwin sends his best regards...

Corey Nice meeting you today at Mike Bruno’s. Good video and very informative

You are one really cool man. Love watching your videos. Rock on my friend

Awesome video, Saddle Tramp! The Shovel sounds great.

Great stuff brother always enjoy seam's to me your one hell of a mechanic keep up the great work looking forward to more ride safe my friend

I can't remember for sure, but will dry lifters It requires more flats than what you did.

Love the video . I have an 81 FXE I"m running A 49 tooth ON the rear And it work very well . Not killing the bike at 70 miles per hour .

I always check the end play of the the cam 9 out of 10 times it needs a different shim so its not walking in and out or to tight

The ole Shovel sounds really good bro! Let’s get these ole scooters together one day for a nice ole sounding ride!

Can I use hollow pushrods with solid lifters ..on my 1980 FLH 😁

points and solid rods no problems

You are a mechanic and definitely a better mechanic than me. I would not attempt to do the work you do.

Hey Tramp what's next. A flat head 74 or 80

It's good to hear from you. In the car world you put new lifters in with a new cam. At the very least new rollers and bearings may have been prudent. Just sayin' Later my friend.

Yay!!!! 5 stars! Lovin' y'all,Praise Jesus!

I think i know how ya feel, enjoy your videos , hang in there brother man.

Thanks for the shout out Corey, I am glad that the cam got you back on the road, take care S.

Great Job! As always thanks for sharing!

As usually Late again

Got a chance to buy a98 fat boy Evo nice for 5k should u buy it

Love ur videos man

No one knows everything but it looks like you know enough to get the job done correctly

Glad you were able to get the cam changed out and finally got the push rods sounding like you wanted. Something about old bikes... if it aint one things its another.

good job sounds good

Always enjoy your videos....God bless

Cool. I feel like I'm right there with you, fixing adjusting, those great old engines! It may not be that your skill is a pro level, but your passion is hard core and old Skool all over ya! Love it. That is a great stocker Shovel

Great video...plus you don't give yourself enough credit....good stuff!

Preach it brother

Amen 🙏🏍️😎👍👍

1st because it hot as hell in Tx😢

Which cam did you use on this rebuild?

Great job and another great video 👍👍

Potato Potato Potato Potato sounds great 👍

good job... l have done couple cams on evo's there all pretty easy.. cheers

GREAT INTRO MUSIC !! Something from the early 60s

Hope you checked your cam end play!!

Does Scooters have Scooters shirts yet?

Cory you are so blessed with having such a collection of great motorcycles.

Awesome nothing like a shovel idle sounds good

Love your videos and enjoy the content wrenching on old bikes.

Right on, Tramp!

Great old school shovel. Love it. The only thing I would change are those 90s style blinkers on the front end. They look completely out of place. But to each their own. Keep making videos. Ride safe and often. 👍🏻

Corey, missed you as well. Life has been busy on both sides of the screen. What the heck, it's Summer. That bike really sounded good when you were done with it. Gives us as good a feeling as you must have had. Hope to see you out on the road soon. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙃🙂

Thanks for sharing the gospel brother. You are a wonderful witness Tramp. I learn a lot from you working on the bikes, than else I follow. God Bless You

I think you’re a fine mechanic. I wouldn’t have had the gumption to press out that gear. Also, I concur that mindset is so important when tackling a mechanical project. If the mind isn’t right don’t touch a wrench, bottom line. Thank you for the awesome video.

Sounds GREAT !!! 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻

Good stuff ST!!

Great stuff

Good job!

Love all the bikes you have but that one stands out. It's a little rough around the edges but has that extra cool vibe and now, sound.
