107 Kit & cams

Kit came in around noon today.

Got the gas tank off, hard lowers. exhaust and pulled the rocker covers and rocker arms.
Pushrods and tubes.
Pulled the lifters, cam cover and all and got the Woods 555 cams in and the Zippers Dual Chain tensioners and got the cam chest back on.


Gonna pull the bottom rocker arm plates. and heads and check the deck heigtht. tomorrow.

Then if everything is good.
I will pull the jugs and pistons and put the new forged pistons and put the new bored jugs on and check the deck height and pray everything is O.K.

If Harley had of made base plate gaskets instead of a oring on the bottom end. You could use different base plate gaskets on the jugs and make the difference on the deck height for the piston.
Instead of having to have the jugs milled for proper height.

Yesterday we did all the cam chest.
Woods 555 Cams and the Zippers dual piston tensioners.





Well this is today.

Rear Cylinder Deck Height

Front Cylinder deck height

Got to find a tool to remove the Auto magic Compression releases out of my old heads and put them into the new heads before I can go any farther.

Got my Bike lift and my bike down the street at my Buddy Zans garage.
He has some heaters. Its cold and wet outside.
He has a lot more tools than me.
And about 5 digital torque wrenchs.
And it helps to have to people to help when you use a ring compressor and put jugs on and all.

It took Tattoo & me both to put new rings in my old cylinders after honing. Man, those are close tolerances for the cylinder deck height. Your bike is gonna fly now.

I would of stayed Home and keep the Heat pump on and drank coffee.
No need to punish my bike.
She ain't done nothng wrong.

Getting my brain off the current crisis; here in DC the temp was 17 this morn and going up to 35 today. At home on Long Island it's another 5 to 10 degrees colder. Very unusual low temps for this time of year. If it doesn't improve I may have to winterized the scooter. That's something I've only done once in my riding life.

Hear were gonna have a Global warming this winter.

Close tolerances means better squish. Cooler running temps. Better burn.
And won't need a electric blanket.
Got electronic compression releases.
And I can go in the TM and add more fuel at the cranking position.
And i've emailed Jamie for a dynoed map for the TM.

Not me.

Got the exhaust headers, mufflers and crossover pipe back on.

Got the TB and right hand side floor board back on.

Got the 02 sensors back in.

Got a map from Fuelmoto for the TM.


Will be 2 more days before I get the ACR tool in so I can finish the heads.
And get the Pushrods in.
