Parts and labor was around $1500.00 which included new push rods and lifters, which is usually necessary.Personally, in those year bikes, I would do the gear drive cam if you plan on keeping your bike for a while. Go with gears.Great info. The best thing is that you will get upgraded cams on top of the rest of the upgrade kit, thus more performance. I appreciate any information on my 2016 Heritage Classic!Your absolutely fine Ed. It's run great even when pushed a tad bit (ha ha again). Is the cam shoe problem still there with the 2009 and newer bikes, yes, but not to the great extent it was before. Is it rght that I have the hydraulic chain tensioner?I have an 05 dyna low rider I put a new cam tensioner in it and updated hydraulic oil pump. It only has 19,000 miles. There are companies making aftermarket kits for this and without labor they cost around $750. Some guys rode those year bikes and never had a problem. It was not noisy and the 510 cam produced awesome power with the stock 88ci motor. I don’t want to miss something.The cam chain tensioner issue is a real problem. This HD kit does not change it to a gear driven system & you don’t get upgraded cams. This can shut the bike down. The gear drive can set up is the best fix and yes runout could occur at high HP/TQ numbers in a race style setting. And help support us at the same time? His work has appeared in Autoblog, Men's Journal, Robb Report, and Wired. I would always suggest an intake, pipes, and a fuel management system.

I commute a couple hours to work on an airplane and the Law Abiding Biker Podcast is always playing. H-D claims 105.5 lb-ft of peak torque at 3,750 rpm while 2013 models were rated 100 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm. I’d point out that if using gear drive you do not need high volume pump and the high volume pump may cause increased oil from the rocker box breathers. This is engineering—giving people … Wow, the runout issue was not as big a deal overall but it did effect some bikes. Pissed at Harley about this. They could be pinched and not allowing for excess pressure to be released, in turn, popping the oil cap.Helping & connecting as many bikers as we can worldwide!

Then again, being its very low miles, maybe better to fix the issue now for about a grand, before the cams, crank and bearings have suffered much wear. I am now worried about this problem. The cam chain tensioner broke and the outer gear broke in two. I have the 103 in my 2014 Street Glide. So if you have a 2006, keep an eye out.All, you can run gear drive over the magical 0.003″ that everyone uses as the drop dead measurement. A serious Twin Cam problem that is seldom talked about is crankshaft shifting. The Twin-Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103 and the Screamin' Eagle Twin-Cooled Twin Cam 110 incorporate two discreet radiators in the fairing and a centrally positioned water pump that cool the cylinder heads. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Law Abiding Biker community.Great call on going with gear drive, I also went with 509g instead of 510g because the 509g provides better low end/mid with same top, but either choice is is better than anything else. Don’t get me wrong: the Twin-Cooled engine was considerably more comfortable thanks to its liquid-cooled heads, but other parts of the engine still managed to heat up my legs and lower thighs.

You could also have an issue with the breather tubes. At my 34000 mile oil change we cut the dirty oil filter open and found tell tale signs of shoe disintegration. If the gear drive fails it WILL destroy your engine. No, does it work? So from watching the video, its possible to change all three fluids with the bike on the kick stand. All rights reserved. It has almost 80000 miles on it. much appreciated. Many ThanksListen into the episode and we discuss it all Perry!! Harley-Davidson. Is this tensioner problem (plastic) something I have to worry about.
