Thanks Andrew. I will let you know. I am not in a hurry anymore... I am deploying again this coming Tuesday and I will be away 4-5 weeks (I hope). I will be wrenching on it again as soon as I am back, the weather will be fantastic so.... yes .... (contradiction) I AM IN A HURRY! :up:Let me know if you want me to send you parts, I can get everything ordered today
Yes they are hydro and it is possible. I'm thinking the bearings in the wheels are bad as well. Like I said before S&S lifters are not the greatest out there.
The latest guys!!! you will NOT believe this shite!!!
Right.... just finished doing the whole lot from scratch, took the cam off, checked everything in there and put everything back..... ok....
For some reason I swapped the spark plugs and guess what???? the front cylinder is NOT firing!!!! :bang::bang::bang:
Right.... swap plugs again .... back cylinder Not firing!!!:angry:
New spark plugs: Both cylinders firing!!!! :up: BUT: this rear cylinder does not play as nice as it should.... so my guess is I really need new pushrods, lifters and SPARKPLUGS!!! :bang:
I think I mentioned before.... it is not the first time that this rear cylinder doesn't like these Iridium sparkplugs.... Had to change them twice in a year (which is 4 months of riding, short distances)
:bang::bang::bang::bang:
Still haven't found what bent the pushrod??
I still think it was me while loosening the locking nut.... believe me it was hard and I used the pushrod itself as leverage
Next time use a pair of vise grips on the opposite end of the wrench. those pliers are cheaper than pushrods.I still think it was me while loosening the locking nut.... believe me it was hard and I used the pushrod itself as leverage

put your wrench's on so they are within 15-30 degrees of one another and use one hand to loosen or tighten by squeezing them together.
I have learned that already... believe me... I am an specialist by now!!! same for taking off and putting back the rod´s covers!!!!
Lesson learned!!! :2thumbs:

I will use a cannon!!!!Didn't I tell you before them Iridium plugs are only good for the landfill?
Maybe you can make some sort of air gun to shoot them at something :roll:
:lol:
THROW THOSE FUCKERS AWAY!!!!!! I had 2 sets in both bikes and they shit canned out in less than 2000 miles. Went back with Champion and at 8000 on the HD and 4000 on the Dog with NO PROBLEM. more people try to use them for the hotter spark and it's not worth it! Just think of the trouble this has cost you in riding time and head aches!!!!!!The latest guys!!! you will NOT believe this shite!!!

Now, this sounds good to me... in May (if there are no holds ups @ work) I should be home!!!I replied back to your email Franco.
As far as heads go, you already have the S&S heads, they most likely just need to be reworked with new Valve guides, valves, seats, springs and keepers. To rework you do need special tools and all parts and labor will run you $400-500.
New set of heads are probably twice that. The rocker boxes are around $600 and standard rocker arms $200, roller arms $400...shafts another $35.
Plus the lifters, pushrods and any gaskets you will need that are not included with parts.
I think you should just have me come down there from Sweden sometime around May
Franco, have you ever had true Louisiana Gumbo or Jumbalya cooked for you...... there.....in Sweden???Now, this sounds good to me... in May (if there are no holds ups @ work) I should be home!!!
:roll::roll::roll: they tried to make a Spanish Paella but.... that´s what they came up with.. :roll::roll::roll::roll:
Give Andrew the word and he'll have the parts waiting for you when you come home, be safe
