This is what I thought.. They likely have someone forging the halves and rods but finish machining is likely done in house.. I know that crank assembly is as you can see is on youtube..
Wonder who's doing the cam now.. Comp cams has started selling TC cams.. Maybe the contract only restricted Comp cams from doing current production motors. If so the TC will be done this year..

Comp Cams has only supplied the SE cams never the OEM cams. From what I have been told HD is now grinding the SE M8 cams in house as they can be made on the equipment they have in house. The OEM M8 cams are still made by a out of house supplier as they are press lobe style cams.
