I just did a Web search of golf blue's string.. Then screen shot it. I don't try to save on internal aftermarket parts.
Now I would if someone who does his own work show part is just as good or better then the mother ship.
Yet to see it and I been looking since 2008 or so.
[/QOTE]this is everything I looked up to hopefully get the job done
You posted a picture of the outer cam tensioner which I believe everybody is out of. You also need the inner tensioner which has the two little ears on it. I would use oem Harley gaskets instead of James but that's me. And the stock hd oil pump is fine. Also be aware that you need a tool to take out the inside tensioner and it's very hard to find. If you remove the cams you could do it without the tool but now you're going to need to replace the cam bearings. Fyi

It only shows the one but it comes with both inner and outer tensioner

if you all are having a hard time finding good parts and tools for the job. I suggest moving away from eBay or Amazon and going with J&P cycles out of Phoenix AZ.

you have to select each one in the drop-down box and order one of each. The outer one is out of stock as I said
there is a 25-047 listed on eBay. The problem is the picture shows the 25-047 but the number listed in the specs is 25-048 so there's no telling what you'll get. Plus he wants $34 plus $14 shipping

Well somebitch your correct about the tensioner. My apologies. As for eBay your also correct you never know what they send

I just looked back on my orders from Amazon when I got these tensioners. The inner tensioner 25-048 was readily available. They also had the outer tensioner 25-047 listed and they sent me inner tensioners both times. I just kept hitting the retun and replace button.
The third time was the charm and I got the right one. So the outer 25-048 has been very hard to source in the Twin power brand for at least a year as I did mine last year. The reason I went to Amazon is because they were the only ones that listed the outer Cam Bearing as being available. Nobody else had it in stock and I did get the correct one finally and it was in a sealed OEM twin power package.
You might want to send this seller a message and tell him he's got a picture of the 25-047 but the number 25-048 in the specs. Which is correct? You want the one that's rounded on the end without the two hooked ears. If he's got one like the picture I would jump on it and get the rest of your stuff from J&P or Dennis Kirk or whomever.
I bought an 04 Dyna Wide Glide very cheap due to the same issue you had.
The inner cam bearing exploded. One of the bearing rollers got into the oil pump and cracked the gear/rotor. Pumps destroyed, end of cam destroyed.
Fortunately the engine case survived and I was able to press in new inner cam bearings with no issues.
To fix on the cheap I bought used cams with pump, lifters and backing plate off eBay. I also used cyco tensioners. Install the Pingle oil pump screens to catch any other debris before it takes out the pump again.
You'll have to remove the pump again after riding for 20 miles or so to remove the rest of the cam bearing parts that the screens caught.
I rode the wide glide another 10,000 miles without any issues before I sold it.
First off thank you for the add.
I'm stumped, my 2000 Fatboy 88 is puking out the oil through the breather ports on both front and rear heads. I'll drain and put the recommended amount 2- 1/2 quarts in the tank. Start and run for 15-20 min as soon as I shut it off it shoots it out to the ground. @ $12 a quart I need some help. I rerouted away from the carb it was fouling plugs and keeping my filter drenched. Would it be the umbrella seals?
Update: one of my affiliated brothers is bringing me a 88 punched to a 103 should be riding this sunday
