Time To Tear Down

Once I got the pump off, naturally I began to inspect it. THIS WAS NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!

The first picture is of inside the pump housing. The second is of the gerotor for scavenging. HOLY SHIT!

Holy Chit is right brother!

Not surprising at all that cast iron powder is like valve grinding compound! Aint like you were going to use a old pump on a completely new motor any way.were you?

Ps that hardend clip made its way in the pump scavenging side eh!

If the pump was good, why not? See the dark striated marks? Right in the scavenging gerotor area too.

Very possible. I remember you talking about pump cavitation.

Because brand new motors dont run 18 year old pums spend 4000 grand on a motor and we cant spend 250 on a pump.wtf wrong with you holmes your ass squeak when you walk you knew dam well when the pin machined 250 thou out the side of the cylinder liner that fn pump was shot before you even pulled it out gearrotor pumps dont like shot peen running throu them lmfao

I thought you would get a rise out of that. Lmfao. Yes I had a good idea that this pump was shot.

Ugly. Just plain old Ugly. Reminded me of some of the women I used to date! CRACKED!

Ya they were much easier than a harley lmfao

Not sure about the expense part of it though.

Was actually wondering the other day how your bike was coming along, have not seen a progress update in awhile.

Today I will be continuing on the disassembly of my engine. Today I am looking to get it to the point of where I just have to loosen the engine mounts. Then it is a matter of taking one side of the case off so I can see inside the engine. The anticipation is exciting but mostly frightening. Lol

Looks like your going to busy for a while,Maybe more than what you wanted to be,But them bigger Pistons will make up for it when you done right ?

Yes it will be a while. Will have it ready for spring that is for sure. It's a mess wouldn't you say?

Well, I am not so sure anymore that the crank and rods are going to be unscathed like I was hoping. I didn't make any progress yesterday as I got lazy. No progress today because the wife and I are going out riding and this will more then likely be the last ride of year for me as I will be bringing the Road Glide to a dealership for storage soon.

Yes,yes I think we are done,it snowed here late Thur. And they salted the roads,That mean no more for us,unless it rains to wash the roads off,But in all reality we have to know our season has come to a End......

That does suck. I just looked at Weatherbug and it showing clear skies and 42° for next Saturday. I may just hold off and ride down to Faribault MN to pick up my oil pump for the Sportster.

Any suspension mods needed to take the upcoming power of the build? Or braking?

I am going to do better brakes. Haven't really thought about the suspension.

Yeah...it's a good idea if you beef up the go,you should beef up the whoa....
