RE: Most reliable HD engines
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

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

RE: Most reliable HD engines
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.
