Hi, i have a 1992 fxlr which i swapped a goldwing 1500 for it,
it has been customised quiet alot with Delkron Crankcases,S&S Crank Assembly,Edelbrock Cylinder Heads and Camshaft,Valve Gear Jims Roller Rockers and Adjustable Pushrods,a Competition Kelvar Dry Clutch Conversion, and Primary Belt Drive Conversion (BDL).
what i need to know is are my valves self adjusting? and i've change the engine oil and gearbox oil, is there anymore oil to change? i've looked at the forum and some people say they have change all 3 so i'm a bit confused as its my first harley after years of jap bikes.
thanks for all help received.
dave.

 

Hi Jack, from the UK. Sounds like a scratch build motor to me, can't be much if anything original in it!

The answer about your valves, is yes, they probably are self-adjusting. It is routine to use hydraulic adjusters and only in extreme cases do away with them for mechanical ones.

We routinely recommend getting a factory service manual for home mechanics and although your motor is far from stock you will still find it helpful and informative, with everything you need to know about oils etc.

You will find the Evo forum is a great place to hang around in future, with a great bunch of regulars and plenty of help if and when you need it.
