Just finished the gear drive cam install. I would not have tried to do this job without reading the experience that other people had. Thanks to Dawg for the tip about Gary's bearing tool. Tater did a write up about his install, good to read. And there are other posts that helped. Thanks to all...

 

Congratulations!!

I know the feeling. I did an AMS 96" BB and gear drive cams install myself this past November.

 

grandad: Congrats on the DIY gear drive cam install.

dcfatboy: Congrats on your build and thanks for posting an SAE corrected, smoothing 5 chart-bet it's a blast to ride.

 

Way to go grandad, just ordered my 26g's yesterday, which ones did you install?

 

I went with s+s cams 510. Also s+s adjustable push rods with their push rod tubes. Bought the package from Eastern Performance.

 

Thanks, and you are welcome.

The dyno is with Rush mufflers with 2.5" baffles. I now have 2.0" baffles and notice a big difference with my seat-of-the-pants dyno. I will probably have a new dyno in about 3 weeks.

Good job, granddad. Now, no more plastic to worry about! [sm=wootwoot.gif]
