Engine Mechanical TopicsDiscussion for motor builds, cams, head work, stripped bolts and other engine related issues. The good and the bad. If it goes round and around or up and down, post it here.
My turn has finally come to turn my 96" to a 107" on my 2010 dyna. I will try my best to remember pics, but build details to come. I'm sending my jugs and heads to Kirby at VeeTwin tomorrow. When we nail down the build details, I will post them up, but first, the pics that I did remember to take
Since the A/C is the stock one, I have decided to go with the S&S stealth, SS pushrods and lifters (which, btw, I am having a hard time finding the standard lifters for my model...am I doing it wrong?) And atmospheric ventilation. Keeping the RR3 exhaust and the PC5 that ade already on the bike. Not engine related but might get my fairing color matched to the silver...
After talking with Kirby, we have decided to go with the 107, stage 2 head work, S&S 585 cams, 58mm tbody. A few pics from the rest of disassembly. I let the kids turn a few wrenches to "help"
updates will be slow as I wait for parts to trickle in.
Heck, I would say too bad you picked a flatlander cam in Reno. Lots of nice mountain roads in the area.
when speaking with kirby, i told him about the mountain road of the sierra nevadas, but I also like riding to the coast and east through the desert....its what he recommended. A brother I ride with here in Reno had that cam in his fat boy and he loved it.
Related, my parcel was supposed to be delivered on friday, but now ups is saying monday...
as i am starting to gather parts and start making my orders, that hpi 58mm tbody is pricey....a lot of knowledge on these forums, and I can do searches for days, but cutting to the quick, does that extra 3mm difference between the 55 and 58 tbodies make that much difference? Thank you in advance.
