? about roller cams ans synthetic oil
#32
I guess if your roller bearings are sliding you should go ahead and buy a whole new motor and transmission (assuming you used the same oil in all three holes) since 99% of the rotating shafts in these bikes are supported by roller bearings. I did not do the math on the percentage so don't beat me up on it but if you look in the service manual for a few minutes you will only find a few bushings.
I am sorry for your luck on the choice of mechanics. I would like to be a fly on the wall when he explains his idea to you when you tell him you won't be back. Please share it here as I need another good laugh.
iclick roller lifters were in Panheads so they have been around since at least 1948. Not sure before that. At one time there wasn't a push rod for the intake.

I can see how one would find this funny
but I think it no longer becomes funny when the mechanic that built your bike, whom you believed to be a competent mechanic and builder of the motor tells you synthetic oil cause these problems. Then at that point you start to scratch your bike and wounder, is he right? Did I pull a boner mover and have the wrong guy work on the bike? Cause once these th happen you will have to have the motor repaired. I will be choosing another mechanic. Thanks for all the reaponses.
