TP Engineering 107" from a 2000 big dog. Head bolts and oil lines

Anyone know if these bigger motors use the same torque specs and methods of an evo, or if they're different? I've marked the bolts in the picture incase I named them incorrectly.

Also, the marked oil line. On my FXR this is a line that runs to the swingarm area for venting. I assume this is the same. This motor had been sitting for a long while and when I turned her over oil poured out of that line. I assume this is more of a, she was filled with oil from sitting, more than a nope, that's a return. The big dog had the marked line tied into another oil line. So I thought I'd ask.

Thanks for any help and advice.

I torque the heads, engine cold, in 4 increments, just like an Evo. 16, 26, 35, 40, double check at 40 after sitting for 5 min. or so.
The fitting is a crank case breather vent fitting. You will probably need to take the oil pump assembly apart, clean and assemble. They normally wet sump when sitting for a period of time.:oldmad:

Looking further into this motor, it may be over my head. I noticed some scaring on the cyclinder walls. I'm checking around to see if it's a problem, and if so how to fix it. I've not been this deep into a motor before so I'm trying to learn as I go
