- After getting the 81 out for a drive it developed a noise. I had to tear it down to figure out what the problem was. Just want it to be the best it can be. Hope you enjoy!

Another great one Ralph,and a man can never have enough tools, lol
Thanks and I agree, I guess that is why I enjoy making them so much, Thanks for commenting.
If you just replace your Hydraulic lifters with solids, it will tap so loud that you will never hear another tic 😅
Ha ha how true. I did try them in this bike before tearing it down though. Thanks for comenting.
Always look forward to your videos. Great information. I think it’s great to be reminded that these older bikes need checked and measured.
yes sometimes its the small things that can cause you grief. Thanks for watching, and supporting, the channel. Thanks for commenting.
You always have great information in your videos
Thanks it is great to hear. Thanks for commenting.
Hey, new subscriber here. Love your videos especially the old shovelhead series. You're great at explaining things!
Thanks for subbing up! So glad you are enjoying the channel. Share us out there! Thanks for commenting.
Good day. I used to do a lot of machining on Shovelheads & cases during the big bore days in the late 90s.
Many Shovelhead were blowing head gaskets. I would lightly fly cut the surface and use a re-sharp 5/8” end mill “.600” diameter? “ To Counter bore the surface/steel inserts down about .020” inch from surface.
I noticed on your front head near the intake pushrod area. It was flush. I learned from a magazine article. That the gaskets actually wear the aluminum away. If you run your finger over that area, it will feel like a protrusion. A careful flat file could easily solve the problem. But I suggest a fly cut and counter bore.
The machinist needs to be careful not to nick the outer intake port area already cut/shown on your heads.
I did several shovel head castings back in the day. Everyone was blowing head gaskets, and this solved the problem. Smitty
Thanks for the info Smitty, and I will keep it in mind. I do look out for inserts sticking up as I have run into that before. One head was repaired, and welded up at some time, so there is no insert in that area but it is very flat and smooth, perhaps that is why it looks like that. Another reason I always, spend a little extra, and use James Fire Ring gaskets to help eliminate gaskets leaking. Just trying to keep the old shovels going. Thanks for commenting.
Nice one! Subbed over from Hippie. 👌
Thanks for coming on over to check me out and subbin up! Thanks for commenting.

Right back at ya Moe. Thanks for commenting.
I've spent a lot of time on this channel and others like it to avoid anger and irritation over the political channels trying to tell us how great war is. At least I can still enjoy building and working on "old bikes, Harleys and Triumphs". Not much left for "old veterans" to enjoy these days and times. I hope to build another old panhead before I pass on, along with the three antique Triumphs I recently just bought. I took a standard adjustable angle plate for my Bridgeport, drilled it for rocker studs to machine out the old valve seats and replace them with new seats. It also works for oversizing the guide holes for oversized guides.
Yes the news can be depressing these days. We just have to occupy our minds with other things and restoring bikes is a great way to do that. Sound like you have some great projects on the go. Wish I had a bridgeport mill, but could never afford one. But made my way through with my small drill,mill press. Not the best but has served me well. Thanks for commenting.
When you’re cutting, what are you cutting? The valve seats or the guides?
Cutting the valve seats, and I also did the bottom of the lower valve collars and used the tool to cut the head below the lower valve guide retainer. Its a combo of things. Hope this answers your question.Thanks for commenting.
My 80' shovelhead engine has an evolution S camshaft. Is there a difference in lift or crossover with respect to the correct camshaft? I think the correct one is H. right?! I bought it working like this, making its noises but due to bouncers with play in the blocks and when disassembling I found it, is there a risk with that tree?! Thank you if you answer me, Ralph.
You are crorect that the H grind is a stock shovelhead camshaft. I do not think the evo cams would work properly as the rocker arm ratio for evos is different than shovels, changing the lifts. Evo rocker arms are t 1.62 I believe when shovel ones are at 1.43. That might have created some of your problems. Not sure what you mean by risk with the tree. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for commenting.
Put the video out how to make it
Not sure what you mean how to make it? I did show how to make the valve checker later in the video.
