Thanks for all the reply's. Also what an awesome thread you have created and thanks so much for sharing.


Racer

 

The belt guards appeared.... 5 bucks for it all. unapologetically plastic. i will test krylon on one of the uppers

 

went to the dealer and picked 70% of the parts order. pistions back-ordered

• 575 cams
• cometic base gaskets
• std base gaskets
• tappet/lifter gaskets
• high tensile studs
• BBs, yes BBs
• 2 X 3/8-16 nuts and 1 3/8 washer

mega head gasket. may not use. need to decide between this and the .030 cometic mls



following this, along with the manual, for the stud removal/install:


grabbed these goods to

 

Man you had me all the way up to the blue gloves!

Black gloves are WAY better!

 

guess hd doesn't really care about packing anymore. 536 vs 575



536 course vs 575 fine. no need to pull the pinion gear to swap it for the course one included with the older 536 set. assuming the arrow shapes are buell timing marks and the 0 are XL timing



clearly printed SE-[X]E numbers on the cams vs the 536 cams... pretty sure i made the right call by skipping those.



tested the lobes for clearance... 4 no issues



3 no issues



1 no issues



2... no idea assumde cool, put in varios positions with no contact other than race. didn't spin it though.

test fit all cams in timed positions. i will assembly lube and button it up tomorrow after replacing the lifters

 

are they stronger? i'll try them over the nitriles

entertainment value....

 

stud said it ain't moving. hamfist wanted to help.... no. stopped and let it be before i broke something or destroyed the case.



moved on to the lifter/tappets (lifters). drained the s&s juices and cleaned them as advised



sat them in oil for a while



dug out the old lifters



blah



blah



looks like the s&s replacements but, the roller was rough... in terms of the roller spin. the s&s rollers were super smooth and fast in spin. <br/><br/>put in the new lifters



replaced lifter retainer gaskets



slapped it all back together. 80-110 in/lbs on all 5 of the screws.



moved on to the cams and cover. removed and lubed the cams, pinion, oil gears, and bushings. put the cams back in...



reconnected the oil line, lubed the cover bushings, placed the gasket, and pressed the chrome cover into place and held it with old screws... enough for one day

 

A good days work.
Good luck on the cylinder/head studs. I've heard those things can be a bitch. I have no tips or tricks to offer, but nice job on the hose.

 

I thought the studs stayed in the case. Whats up with that one then? (pardon my ignorance)
