Heads Check

I will be pulling the heads on my Road Glide and send them to South Florida to have them checked out by BaggerPaul. There is something that I am curious about, I need to get to the bottom of it.

Ill be out of the shop till monday .get um pulled and ill have a look. I will cc them check stem protrusion and valve installed height let you know were they are at .

Ok. That ccp difference is just bothering me. No big rush for them. I will let you know when they are on the way.

Didn't you just rebuild that motor like a year ago ?
Or did I forgit something ?

Just evaluation is what he is concerned about at this point.i did not build those heads .his indy built them we just put his motor together with the parts he purchased. I was not in Minnesota long enough to break the motor in before he had it dyno tuned .so i dont know what the ccp was and i dont know if his tunner check it either .i know that johnny did a leak down on the motor and the lower end showed less than 5 percent. So the motor build itself was tits so it must be that the chambers Are large or they sunk the valves alot on one head.he has a difference in one more than the other.

Another reason I say, Let a Builder do the build , Heads, piston, cams and all
Or buy a kit.
Makes it a lot easier on the person doing the work.
And in the long run the package has fewer problems.

Well the parts he got are top knotch cp pistons forged .nice low tension rings that we froze our ass off filing nice red shift cams .roller rockers with all new shafts .witch johnny did a good job prepping and fitting the lower rocker boxes .we went and purchased new hardend fastenrs .went over the assembly with a fine tooth comb fitting pistons and pins together. So he could see how it was done .the motor for a 98made good power 113 ft lbs out of a 98 inch motor is impressive. For me .just would like to see an even quench out of both cylinders. Is all

Why? I trust Paul?

And to be honest it just does not seem like good business for me to set up for harley heads and tie up my shop and table when im set up for big block and small block v8. I even sent my own heads to kirby.because time is money at my shop. I can check what he is worried about and check and toch up the seats if needed .if they need to be surfaced it is no biggie ill run them over to tommys shop and clip them as needed. No seat and guide work hopefully will be needed. If they sunk the valves that much we have a junk set of heads.because i cant see to justify putting that much work into a set of early model heads. I have another set of casting there that are done with nice tight chambers

The engine isn't bad dude. I had it retuned and it made more power, but I didn't like the retune si we put the original MAP back in. I just need to figure out why the discrepancy from cylinder to cylinder.

Yep i agree we were prou 11 thou on both jugs at the domes edge. So the bottom is jam up and jelly tight . So unless your rods got taller and grew the bottom is good lmfao.

Are those heads you are talking about the 06 style?

I was wondering about your heads.
Not BP pauls work.

What about them?

Wondering about the work in them. And why you are having to have them checked.
How many miles do you have on this build already.

I have CP forged pistons in my bike. But I think Jamie with fuel moto has since changed to a different piston.
B
Getting Older I don't remember.

But I think on some of the bigger work, he is having Williams carb in Mississippi to do them.
But do not make me Lie.

Well I said why I was having them checked. I have about 20k on this build.

Know it helps for a set of heads to be setup for the build.
With the power you was making , they musta been something right.

Dude I have rode the heck of my bike, Ran it over 100mph a lot.
going to Galventon for the Lonestar Rally, I buried the speedo a few times.
And held it at 100+ mph where I felt safe.
Hard to believe that something is wrong with the heads at 20,000 miles.
