Ok - Of the list above which engine in your honest opinion is / was the most reliable engine harley has / had produced and why?

If I have forgotten any engine I apologize. This is for the list that you see. Thank You

 

Ok - I'll start - I say the Evo. I say this because with out the design of evo motor and the company dropping AMF it is very likely that AMF would have put the MOCO out of bidness for sure. The design of the EVO saved HD's Azz! So why is it the most reliable? Simply because it had to be. If the company f'd it up I don't belive there would be sights like this one today. - Just my 0.2

 

evo has my vote also........ awesome engine .. in my opinion......

ride safe!!!!

 

The most reliable engine is the one you maintain yourself.....If you can do it!

 

Don't know the stats but I would imagine there are more miles on the twin camfleet. It would be interesting to find out.

 

I dont know which one's more reliable but I hope it's the one I got, TC88.

 

I was tempted to vote shovelhead because they are cool, but I voted twinky.

 

I have around 200 thou on my shov and only replaced the push rods(took about 20min)and dont have enough miles on my2Evo's to say,but Ive seen hard riders getting 250 thou on before rebuilding....

 

I voted EVO becasue I have more miles on my EVO (30,000+) than my twin cam (20,000+)... I trust the EVO more... but that is just a personal "feeling"...

My EVO has never failed me... My twin cam has... minor problem but I had to wrench on it

 

I put 45,000 on my evo without any major problems but the 10,000 I've got on my 07 Twin Cam have been the smoothest and quietest engine miles I could ever want. The evo started to bother me with more noise as the miles got higher. The lifters were replaced at about 35,000 and helped quiet things some, but I got concerned about maybe having to do a rebuild soon. This new one is so smooth and powerful in comparison that I would never want to go back to the older style. But this is just opinion isn't it.
