Engine noise update
Just thought I would let those that responded to my post know what came of the engine noise and follow-up, the entire top end is being replaced because of excessive clearance, that's the piston - cylinder was past tolerance so was the valve guides and rocker arm bushings there was issue with the valve seats as well. So HD authorized new top end so I decided to go with stage 3 at a substantial reduced price, they are installing the latest oil pump as well. So there you have it 42000 kms and it was worn out. I knew that noise wasn't normal.

I never did say the kind of noise it was making it would be to hard to describe, the noise at cold start sometimes was nasty I would look around to make sure no one else could hear it as it was somewhat embarrassing, the noise when it was hot was very loud valve train noise. I posted the recording of the noise on Facebook and a lot of people had the same.

I don't use facebook (I just can't support companies like that). As they say, if you don't pay for a service, you are the product (facebook selling our private info). Any way, if you happen to upload your video to youtube, please post a link here. No stress, if you don't have the original video to upload. Just glad you got your bike fixed.

Is this your video?
If so, wow! Initially, I thought your horn or something was loose and rattling, but it was the engine. Man, that sucks! And a lot of other owners are living with this issue?
Can you tell me if it was an uphill battle with Harley to get your engine fixed? Or was it straightforward (ie. You took it to your dealer. They told you something is not right. Lodged a claim with MoCo and the fix was authorised)? Just wanting to understand if others with this noise is not getting their bikes fixed OR they just didn't realised that something is not right.
