Ok, let's see if I can remember how to do this....

On Wednesday evening (9:00PM), in the thick fog, Kevin rode his bike over to drop it off.


I got started with some basic disassembly, but it was late so I did not get too far:

 

Nice start Phil, why is Kevin dresed like a Ninja? Please do some close ups of the cams heads and piston mounting when you get to that part. Thanks in advance.

 

Thursday evening, after work, I was able to get a little more done. Kevin came back to help & "check it out".

Off with the heads:


Open the cam chest:


Oil pump out and rear inner cam bearing out. We replaced the cheap-o INA inner cam bearings with Torrington/Timken B168's


We left the stock jugs & pistons on (above) so we could swap the cams and then alighn the oil pump by snugging the oil pump to the camplate while manually rotating the rear wheel w/ tranny in 6th gear. In this pic, you can see the camplate is back on and the weeping oil shows that the pump was "pumping" during the alignment process:


Here the outer gears are back in and installed:


That was it for night two ~ Thursday. I want somewhat out of order in my "normal" process because I wanted to take advantage of having Kevin over because the oil pump alighment takes two people.

 

Day Three ~ Friday

With the camchest zipped up, it was time to start getting the pistons ready. Gapping rings & measuring in the jugs. I prefer setting them up on the tight side of of the spec:



With the rings gapped, it's time to install the pistons & then the jugs:


One jug & head on and then both:



Whoops... forgot these.
Add 1/2 qt of oil to camchest so oil pump has oil immediately:

New BlackOps lifters installed:


Starting to get things buttoned up:


VPC installed:


so.... @ 11:45PM, the bike was back to life ~ make'n noise & I went to bed.

 

Almost done now!

Clenaed the bike up Saturday morning & went out to seat the rings:


Kevin came over and this is one the way to the dyno shop... I think he was happy by this time.


At The Dyno Difference, on the dyno:


Dr. Ed, doing his thing:


Kevin, after his first test ride:


And finally... "the sheet":

 

You make that all look so easy. NExt for my bike after the wheels will be cams and maybe a big bore. Might ahve to ride down south th=o your place Phil...

 

Here are a few more random shots...

HQ heads vs. Stock heads:




Pretty new jugs for the 107":


HQ exclusive BlackOps lifters:


The old heads getting ready to go back to HQ. Next time these are seen by the public, they will be just like the ones we just installed:


Forgot this one earlier... Checking deck height. It was ZERO:


I am very happy with the way this build turnd out and I am confident that Kevin (GliderXXX) is even more happy than me....

ENJOY it Kevin!!!!!

 

I can't see worth a damn, but this looks like 136 torque and 111 hp is that right ???????????????

 

Thanks for the write-up and pics, Phil.

The grin on Kevin's post-tune ride says it all!!!

Well done.

 

Phil,
What about that "working" vacation here to Knoxville in the Spring/Summer?
Build a 120"
Aren't you enticed in the slightest?
