Hi Mikes, thanks for another interesting video. Mike, I think your missing a golden opportunity for a new T-shirt design - simple script, four little words... "And there it is!" 😂 Would be a great conversation starter with those unfamiliar with the channel! And cameraman Mike, I feel for you with the mosquitoes... hope you don't come up in big welts like my son does. Keep the great work coming guys! Cheers. 👍👍🇦🇺
Well done cameraman Mike. Goodness feel your pain with those skeeters. We could see the dot and the camera was positioned just fine for the two man job.
I'm number 1 your thumbs-up said 3 times😅111. I started with my friends your videos. I now call Show N Go Video 😊 Go to the barn to check my head pressure 🤫 Hang out on the farm. Watch the weeds grow round and round. Great times and blessings to you from all of us. Thanks Mike
Have fun in Winchester this weekend. Just some trivia...My great Uncle Bill Auld owned a Ranch and a lot of the property under the Lake "Skinner". That's where I learned to drive on the dirt roads when I was 12. Thanks for the fun video Mike...
Mike(s). Keep on keeping on. I love your bikes and I try to learn something every day to keep my Shovels and Evos going. You guys are doing great. Thank you.
That tool was really nice. That's the easiest I've ever seen a snapring go on. On car axles they're always a pain. I had one pop back off on me recently. You know what happens then. No power and lots of noise.
I am bring an old pan back to life. It had no compression so I pulled heads and jugs. Pistons are OE and appear to be within spec. Cylinder is glazed but after quick ball hone should also be in spec. Any reason not to reuse pistons with new rings or would I be building a time bomb in your opinion?
I've had pistons that I ran for a long time then passed to another guy who ran them again for a long time. Look then over good and. if you're happy with them, run 'em. Everything super clean. Nice fresh "crosshatch" honing job with a ball hone. Carefully fit the new rings according to specs. Now, the valves will need attention.
Lovey Dovey...she's almost there...heads...where's the heads...I'm sure your Buddy is doing a great job on those Mike. I always remember my boss saying, You take your time and do them right or you make up time to do them over...been there, done that!
14:15 I have had 2 plain fiber base gaskets blow out of Shovels. Hot rods, but I will still only use James steel core base gaskets like Mike has here from now on. 16:06 I still hope Mike sized the bushing correctly. A light press fit is vastly tighter than the .0008" to .0012" spec in the factory manual. Last video he seemed to have misread the manual and confused pin to piston fit with pin to bushing fit. Then he repeated "light press fit" here in this video. Light press fit is size on size and is the pin to piston spec. Pin to bushing spec is .0008" to .0012" loose, and is an effortless slide in. Is there actually a chance Mike is doing it incorrectly? If he fit the pin to bushing at a light press fit then it will fail quickly. I made a tool like at 17:45 out of a non grooved Harley wrist pin that I tapered on one end with a belt sander, a bolt through the middle that I sized on the belt sander to just slide through the wrist pin, and a piece of tubing that just fit over the wrist pin. Same too here but home made. I made that in 2003 and it is still in my special tools drawer 23:00 I have the exact same ring compressor. KD 850H. Best I ever had. Much better than a hose clamp... I only have the size ring that fits Ironhead Sportster, but it can open up far enough to do big twin Harleys though.
Mike, How is your eyesight now? I typed that just as you mentioned that you haven't had your other eye done. Also there's stern and bow back and front. Haha
I would choose Top at 10:00 dot second ring at 4:00 was how I was taught. For bearing balance a make a Y for the bottom. Manual is probably correct. And My Needle Balance Is Incorrect. You can’t teach an old dog new trick’s though Harley. 😁👍
@@pacificmike9501 DON’T FOR GET TO PRELOAD AND GET TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE. You know, before you have fun. Just the way I would do it. Be wishing you well, Thankyou for the Compliment. Going to be nice, having all new Ring’s.
I installed external oil drains from my head to ceases. It’s a big bore stroker shovelhead. I run it where the primary would return to the case. Now all the oil is dumping out the case vent line. What did I do wrong. They are ultima cases.
I think you're expecting that return in the primary to do more than it's capable of. Building strokers according to S&S specs wil usually keep you out of trouble. I think you're trying to reinvent the wheel.
HAVE MIKE SMOKE A CHEEP CIGAR THE SMOKE WILL RUN THE BUGS AWAY OR CROOKS CIGARS HA HA HA JUST KIDDING LEMAY NELSON VANCOUVER WASHINGTON NORTH WEST PACIFIC COAST THANKS
Anytime someone is watching, it can not go smooth, but Pacific Mike and Cameraman Mike do such a good job. I'll watch your channel forever guys!
Thank You.
👍😎

I love it! Thank You.
Everything I was raised to be ,but the times don’t allow us to be ,Keep on truckin Mike !
But we grew up to ride Harleys. All's well.
That's what I love about the high desert. No mosquitoes. No flies. Nice video Mike. later.
Those things are the worst this year. I've never seen them this bad. Thank You.
Global warming.😂
Nice job....it did go pretty smooth.....I think you should be modeling the tee shirts
Good idea!!

Thanks for the video. The right tools really do help!
Yes they do
Good job Mike!!😀👍 Thanks for the video!!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Mike thx for the new interesting video 🤘
Thank You.
At 15:38 when installing piston on front rod, something fell from piston, into crankcase. Watch closely Mike. You should see it
You are correct, I see it too
Nah, just a reflection. But thank you.
I could swear I heard it and saw it bounce off of flywheel, Hopefully he's right about reflection.@@karlhering594
🧐👍😎
Saw it
Great video again Mike's. Torque settings are good to know to give people an idea of how tight to go. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you again. Here in Sweden we are lucky because the mosqitos have went to sleep for this year. Snow are soon coming.
Take care !
Thank You. I am still battling mosquitoes here.
Thanks for all the info and great videos
Glad you like them!
I couldn't afford a piston ring compressor set, so I used large hose clamps. They worked well.
I've done that one.
That tool was really nice. That's the easiest I've ever seen a snapring go on. On car axles they're always a pain. I had one pop back off on me recently. You know what happens then. No power and lots of noise.
Mama said there'd be days like this.

Good evening Mike and Mike . How are you ? Thank you for this video .
Other than the mosquitoes, we're great, thank you. How you doin'?

Yes! And they'll be great.
I saw the dot. If you have gotten and are getting Alcon lenses (IOLs) maybe I had a part in making them. If so they are made in Huntington WV.
Thank You. Yes, it showed up better in the video than it did for real.
Doing good I see ....
It's a good day, Thank You. Wishing you good ones.
Man I wish you worked on older triumphs !
I never learned them. But, I do like them.

Installing the piston on the rod was almost a stand on your head moment. Camera man Mike needs deep woods off for some relief! ✌🏻
Great point!
Good job. But i would have had to cover the hole knowing my luck.
Okay.
Mike, How is your eyesight now? I typed that just as you mentioned that you haven't had your other eye done.
Also there's stern and bow back and front. Haha
And it's just called "life."
U were going to show what a hand fit is on the rod Bushing to the pin.
Oops. I apologize.
@@pacificmike9501 LOL no biggie man!!
The cameraman deserves all the alcohol he desires. Dealing with mosquitoes sucks...he handled it like a champ.
I'll pass that along. Thank You.

What’s Up Chuck, 😁. YOUR WELCOME
Thank you
Thank You.
I know who did your heads. I really wish he didnt retire but i did buy one of his parts for my shovel
These heads are as they came from STD. My friend Junior, modified the intake ports. Long time ago.
Hallo Mike, don't you use a gasket before fixing the zylinder?
There are base gaskets on both cylinders.
Mike, now that Dave Mackie Engineering closed up the machine shop, who would you recommend as an alternative, local-ish, if possible?
I honestly don't know. It would take some searching. I'd probably start by asking some of the old boys at the Long Beach Motorcycle Swap Meet.
thanks for the video mam
Thanks for watching.
Love the videos Mike! What do you think about white lithium grease on generator gaskets? Meant to ask after the sealant video but forgot.
It should be fine. I do that.
I didn’t think mosquitoes could afford to live there.
They can.
Nifty
Thank You.

Thank You. Glad to hear from you.

Very unprofessional, Cameraman Mike
The mosquitoes just about ate him alive.
