i had my 07 flhtc converted to an 103 from 96,1 also have an 02 flhtc,can i put the 96 jugs ,heads and internal parts(new pist/rings) into my 88,????

 

The 88 and 96 are the same bore stroke is different

 

Yes, you can put them on your 88" but as has been pointed out, it will still be 88". Bore the 96" cylinders to fit a set of 3.875" or 3.932" pistons for a 95" or 98" build.

 

We have had Wiseco Piston, Mentor, Ohio, manufacturing proprietary pistons for us, for almost 5 years now, that allow us to bore from 88-98", and from 96-107".
We have them supply a complete Cometic gasket set with those.
Haven't built a 95, or 103 in quite some time.

thank u guys for the info !!,how will this affect the bottom end on the 88,the engine only has 9.600 mi on it.and do i have to add any fuel or ing changes,using the bike to travel with from NY to Ca, and 4 corners,just want more pullin power !!,Bill

 

Hold on chaps, I think there may be a misunderstanding here! It could be mine of course....

Bill asks if he can fit the jugs and heads he's taken from his TC96, onto his TC88. As we have agreed TC88s have a shorter stroke than a TC96, so I don't believe Bill can do that. He could fit a 96" conversion kit, but that isn't free!

Can we revisit this?!

 

Don't think there is a misundestanding but my response could have been clearer. Of course the TC96 cylinders will fit the TC88 cases; however, the pistons cannot be used as they are designed for the longer stroke TC96 crank. Hence the suggestion to bore the 96" cylinders to fit a new set of 3.875" or 3.932" pistons for a 95" or 98" bore. He is a step closer with the free cylinders and no down time while waiting for machine work.

 

thanks ,but what about the stroke,does the piston make up for the stroke ??,and what are ur rec's on the heads,,will i need a pc3,thanks Bill

 

Thanks for that. Does this mean the jugs for TC88s and TC96s are the same height? I guess they must be as otherwise they wouldn't both fit in the same frame! I think I get it now.....

 

Bill,
We are up here between Syracuse, and Utica.
Feel free to give us a yell.
Happy to answer your questions.
