Let me first say; I vastly over complicated the pushrod adjustment in an attempt to be thurough.

It was pretty easy.

1. Kevin at Head-Quarters said no, but I did it anyway because Philm suggested it. I borrowed the tool.

2. I bought and used the oil pump alignment dowels from Georges Garage. (Cheap and the same as for the TC88)

3. Other than the borrowed tool for the bearings and the dowels, I bought a locking tool also from Georges Garage.

4. The cams, covers, and rods came from Head-Quarters.

 

My compliments !
Thanks for the pics

Thanks, Great job..................

 

The shoe wearing issue was also reduced by the new style of chain harley is using it doesn't have all the sharp edges and is more flexable like the old chain.

 

Great post this is my next project... do you know the part number for the inner bearing
Thank you

 

Great post, thanks for sharing it!

 

making me think about cams myself

 

Nice write up, thanks.

 

Hi
Thanks for the walkthough! Did you use a install kit with gaskets and bearings? If so do you have a part number. I could not find it on headquartes site.
Also one more stupid question, HQ has two sets of pushrods. One adjustable and one not, would it not be easier to just use the non adjustable ez install ones?

 

I think I see what you are reading. The ez install rods they have listed (HQ-4055) are adjustables. Non adjustable pushrods are not ez install. They require top end disassembly to get them in. That's why you have to cut the stock ones out with bolt cutters if you don't want to reuse them.
