Eleazar , greetings from an ol dog. I was inspired to do the job myself after watching (and saving) your excellent video! I do have mechanical skill but always look for a better way to do things, then adapt. Lots of good points from you kid. One of my favorites though , and I can't believe I never learned this long ago, is the the tip about reversing the bolt to hear it seat with a click ! Call me simple but you deserve an extra piece of raisin pie! Thank you
Awesome!! I'm humbled with gratitude by your comments my friend. I appreciate you and your support!! Thank you very much! Keep ur knees in the breeze my friend !!
Nice bike bro. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I learned more from your video than any other video on this topic. Great instruction, great tips. If you ever find yourself in Texas your welcome at my campfire anytime. Thanks homie.
Right on bro!! Thank you for compliment! And even more, thank you for the invitation. If ever I'm heading ur way I'll absolutely take u up on that offer. Happy wrenchin my brotha! And thank you for ur support!!
Thunder Heart Performance circa 1995. I don't believe they are still in the business of making billet controls anymore. I could be wrong tho. Thanks for ur compliment & ur support my friend
I swapped it out for more top end. My lady bought her own bike so riding solo now I could ride hard and fast. That's why I did the swap. Torque drops out faster than I wanted in higher gears so I later went with a sifton cam with more duration in it. Great question man. Thanks for ur support!!
Give me a few days to take a look at that tool. I've had it for quite some time now. I think I got it from jim's tool company maybe. I'll have a look and see if there's some numbers on it to I.D. it for you. Thanks for the subscription btw
My tool is made by Slinger Airflow Werks. If u search Harley cam bearing tool I'm sure you'll find it. I did do a search myself but could not find the exact one I have. I had mine for years tho so that's probably why. I'm sure it's just a different look but does the same deal kinda thing tho
Any other work done on the motor? How do you like the behavior of that cam? I have a bone stock 1340 evo i thought about the ev23 or the 27 for a cam after intake and exhaust. Any inputs appreciated man good video by the way
Hey thank you for watching! Appreciate you much! Yeah, I actually liked that cam. It runs hot & fast but drops off quick after about 5-6k or 70+ mph. @ 60 mph on freeway u can dump it into 3rd gear and it'll slingshot u into 4th up to about 5500 / 75 mph then all the power drops out from under neath u. I was very happy with it over all and around town it rips up road and screams out my D&D lowcat pipes. Good bolt in cam over all. Better than stock by far. Better than the ev-13 for me. I would call the ev-13 mild in comparison but I like running hard and hot most the time. The ev-23 on paper looks comparible to the 27. Looks like it'll hold onto a little more of ur compression with an earlier close on the intake. A little more lift .003 than the 27 ( not much) and quite a bit less duration. If u go with the 23 let me know how u like it. If ur not happy with it I'll send u an ev-27 for $50 u pay shipping. It's the one I pulled out a month ago. Gonna slap in a Sifton 144-EV . God bless my friend and stay safe
@@eleazaralilin2578 right on man i appreciate the reply. Its actually my first harley i picked it up end of sept 2020 but ive been a gear head my whole life been pickin up on how to do things to it. Its a 96 fxds red/violet all stock with SE pipes on it 47k ive already done 14" t bars/extended wiring and a new headlight and quarter fairing now i gotta wake up the motor. Bikes in winter mode right now so since i cant ride i gotta wrench on it hah greetings from maine man thanks again for your input
@@eleazaralilin2578 will do man ill be referencing your video im sure ive worked on handfuls of v8 engines and other cars this is my first v twin build im stoked for spring to roll around
Yeah, wen they say " bolt in " there talking about valve clearances. In other words u can bolt it in and it works with stock valve clearances and spring tolerances. It'll bolt in close enough to run decent but not to the best of it's capabilities. The reason the push rods have to come out is because one side of the valve system is always under some kind of tension even though the other side mite be at TDC with its push rods at the base circle of the cam. Hope that helps.
One of two ways. I'll either use paper clips and a rubber band hooked over a head bolt which keeps them pulled upwards, or more often than not, I found these magnets that work perfectly at holding up the lifters. All the best to u my friend 👍
;D i appreciate you watching my vids. Gonna do one tomorrow on how to fix various broken / frozen micrometers w/ basic tutorial on how to read them. Thanks again for ur support!!

Way to go E if i had a bike i know who to go to for tutorials! Great job brotha!
Haha!! Thanks brotha!!
Best Video Hands down
Thanks Marc !! Glad u liked it!
A very good practice @27:00. This is learned from experience.
:)
Yeah especially using power tools like impacts to put bolts in. Always start them by hand and make sure theyre threading in
Sound like a good mechanic. I have a 96 fxdl and wanna cam it but don't know how lol
Haha, I'm in Vallejo Cali if u want help doing it?
Good-Job & Video.
Thank you
Great video! Just curious, what’s the brand of your forward controls?
Thunder Heart Performance circa 1995. I don't believe they are still in the business of making billet controls anymore. I could be wrong tho. Thanks for ur compliment & ur support my friend
@@eleazaralilin2578 I have the exact same forward controls, you don’t see them too often, they mostly on Indians and some big dogs
Why did you decide to switch cams? Does the EV27 add enough torque to warrant the cost?
I swapped it out for more top end. My lady bought her own bike so riding solo now I could ride hard and fast. That's why I did the swap. Torque drops out faster than I wanted in higher gears so I later went with a sifton cam with more duration in it. Great question man. Thanks for ur support!!
Love the video. What tool is that? Happen to remember where you got it?
BTW, born & raised in Rancho Square.
Give me a few days to take a look at that tool. I've had it for quite some time now. I think I got it from jim's tool company maybe. I'll have a look and see if there's some numbers on it to I.D. it for you. Thanks for the subscription btw

@@eleazaralilin2578 I found the tool, and got my EV27 installed. Thanks again Sir.

@@eleazaralilin2578 i just ordered the 27 for my dyna. Got new lifters and pushrods too.
@@tommys2979 hell yeah!!! Keep me up to date
@@eleazaralilin2578 will do man ill be referencing your video im sure ive worked on handfuls of v8 engines and other cars this is my first v twin build im stoked for spring to roll around
Eleazar did you change the vale springs, i was told if i instal EV27 cam i need to replace the spring due to the drop and lift.
Yeah I did . In another video I show how to do that. It's a shorter 15 - 20 min vid I believe.
I didn't think you had to remove the pushrods. I thought it was a bolt in cam
Yeah, wen they say " bolt in " there talking about valve clearances. In other words u can bolt it in and it works with stock valve clearances and spring tolerances.

Great question btw
Thank you for the reply and the information I appreciate it.
Good video 👍 Where did you get your forward controls from? Looking for a set like that.
V twin manufacturing makes something just like it. I got these from a local shop here in Vallejo CA.
How are you keeping the lifters up? I am getting ready to do this to mine.
One of two ways. I'll either use paper clips and a rubber band hooked over a head bolt which keeps them pulled upwards, or more often than not, I found these magnets that work perfectly at holding up the lifters. All the best to u my friend 👍
Will you do my cam?!?!?
What kinda bike ?
Breather washer??? Spacer!
Haha technically it's a thrust washer rt?
@@eleazaralilin2578 haha didn't see ya install it in the video! The thrust washer!
;D i appreciate you watching my vids. Gonna do one tomorrow on how to fix various broken / frozen micrometers w/ basic tutorial on how to read them. Thanks again for ur support!!
