Does anyone know if the timing cover itself can be adjusted? I have an 11' RKC and want to put the "103" cover on it, but noticed the cover on it now isn't exactly flush to the ground. It needs to be rotated about 1/2" to 3/4" counter clockwise to be straight. I am assuming the cover screws directly into the casing and there is no room for such an adjustment. Any ideas out there in HarleyLand? Thanks!

 

Do you mean the cam chest cover right side or clutch cover left side ?

 

If you post a photo it might help us understand what the problem is.

 

Do you have a pic? The insert is not adjustable... there is nothing behind it... you can remove it and see.

 

Sorry about the confusion. The timer cover that would be on the right side by the right side running board and directly under the tappets. Attached is a picture and hopefully you can see the misalignment.

 

And...thank you all for looking at it. I suspect there is no remedy for this. I will probably get the Harley Davidson Motor Co cover (HD part 25338-99) and matching timer cover instead. The misalignment wouldn't be as obvious. HOW this isn't straight, I'll never know, but I will adapt and overcome.

 

It looks lined up with the engine. That is the way they are...

 

that looks pretty straight to me....are you wanting it to be square to the footboards?

 

Attached is a better shot of that whole side. Is there a trick to making the pictures appear in the message instead of making you click on them? When I try and click on these links to open a picture, it tells me I am unable to do so.

 

Granted...I possess a level of anality that is almost unparralled in human history, but to me, that cover/emblem should be level with the ground. Perhaps the motor has a slight tilt to it that I am not seeing. My idea of it being "level" may be trumped by intentional design by HD. Now that I look at the rocker boxes...there does seem to be a "lean" forward.
