I have an EV-27 in my 89 springer and I love it.

Got in my parts. Went with EV-27 cam, torrington bearing, sticking with stock push rods, and V thunder lifters. Any odd ball tools I should be looking at to make this job easier. I have access to everything I think I need but I am wrong sometimes. I was reading about a Jim's tool to pull cam bearing? Necessary or possible to go without? Any other hints/tips greatly appreciated.

 

Theres a guy on hdtechtalk that makes a tool hat pulls and installs cam bearings and it's cheaper than the Jims tool. Sorry, I don't have a link.

 

I just changed mine out with the Jims Tools puller and installer, and it is about a 5 minute job as the tools work excellent. I got both off of e-bay used. All the work is getting to it. You do need a 1/4"drive 1/4" 12 point socket to remove the lifter blocks that are available at Sears Stores, and a 1/4" allen socket for the cam cover bolts.

 

do you have a part # on the jims tool puller and installer, there are a couple on ebay for sale but some are for the twins etc, just want to get the right one.

 

If there's an Autozone near by,go in and tell them you want a blind hole bearing puller.They have a loan program where you give them around a 150 dollar deposit,they loan it to you and when you bring it back,they give you your money back.Can't beat it.

 

I forgot to mention,you can use your old cam to install the bearing.

 

George's garage makes quality tools, he also has an eBay store

EV-27 is where its at unless you are doing a much more than a good street build.

 

You should also have a lifter block alignment tool.
