- how to cam a harley davidson twin cam with kruesi originals.
in this episode we install a feuling eo+ cam chest with feuling 574 cams in a 2007 dyna with a 96 inch motor.
most of these parts are available on our website if not call the shop Tuesday- friday and we can get it to you.
we are Kruesi Originals, we specialize in high performance harley davidsons, aftermarket parts, custom builds, stunt riding, road racing, and around goofy sh$t.
This guy annoys me.
Nice wide glide, Snake Bite
He lives rent-free in your head. LOL
This shit is ASMR for motherfuckers that build our own shit.

Ryan, you’re legitimately a legend in today’s world. There’s a lot of millennials who need to find this channel. One day this channel will get a lot of recognition. It deserves it anyways. IMO.
Thank you very much 🙏
Was debating mentioning..but!, you should make some shirts that have like “motorcycle enthusiast”(quoted like so) over like an AZ sunset or AZ state flag with a Kruesi Originals logo in there somewhere. I think it would be hilarious and a good inside joke for all your followers who want to support. I’d buy one, cause as much as I think turning a wrench and putting down miles make myself a biker……Motorcycle Enthusiast..😂😂
I'm one of them millennials watching this man do his thing on the harleys confirmed it for me to go out and by a dyna two weeks ago can't wait to start tinkering with it this will be one of the last things I do, picked up an 07 with a 96ci with only 10k on it
We are slowing coming along hahaha
Let's hope they do and learn from Ryan. He's very methodical and thorough. Despite his looks and humour, he cares for his customers bikes as if it's his own.
This is absolutely the best video I have ever seen explaining a cam swap with all the other items that need attention!! Great job on showing it!!
Glad it was helpful!
This video has been my rock through my upgrade. I also just put it on when I'm going to bed because I find it relaxing
😁 sleep sounds with the soothing voice of Ryan Kruesi
@@kruesioriginals it's more the sound of all the squirting and lathering of the assembly lube 🤷♀️
Installing 574s on my 103 this weekend. Ordered the whole cam kit with Solid push rods and the fueling breathers for the rockers
I am about to turn 62 a year old 11/2 years ago my son bought me my first bike 2005 harley road king beautiful bike now we do alot of riding together,,never dreamed it would happen he rides heritage softtail 01 I put S&S kit an 509 cams,,good times,,
SOOOOOO glad I stumbled upon this channel! If the tech tips don't do it for ya', the humor is TOTALLY worth the watch! ✌😎
I really respect the way you teach in a no-nonsense fashion! You pass on so much info without the BS and you're funny as hell too in a low key way. I've been pulling wrenches for over 40 years but bike wrenching is new to me, I learned a lot from your vid and will be doing this on my 04 Heritage soon. THANKS!
Thank you, glad we could help
My cams are getting done in a couple of days. I’ve been looking at the jobs done just to see what goes on. My friend, you have one hell of a channel and a master class in presentation! 👍🏾
Thank you
I can't put into words how much I appreciate you making this video! I can read a shop manual over and over and only feel so confident tearing a motorcycle apart. I will deffinately be rewatching this tomorrow while I rebuild my cam chest. Thank you and your crew for the work you put in making these videos.
Hell yes, glad it helps, thank you for watching. We appreciate it.
I work at my shop all day then I watch this channel at night to relax 👍👍
😁😁🤘🏼
It is great to watch a video where the guy doing the work can explain what he is doing, plus knows what he is doing. Kudos Ryan!!
Thank you 🙏
I know this is older video of yours, but seeing it now …
Great job on the step-by-step the verbiage and awesome fluid camera work … Great mechanical professionalism install a parts and the details of the job…….!!!!
👍🤓👍
excellent straight forward info on the bearing/runout with no gaslighting.... thank you!
Realest dude I’ve seen in a long time. And he knows his shit. Well done
Did my bike this summer this video made it easy plus the S&S instructions didn’t hurt either, lol. Made it a simple process to install the entire Camchest and pushrods. Have 5k on the new set up runs great. Keep up the great videos guys
Literally getting ready to do this on my twin cam 103. Sat down and took notes the entire time. Your insight and tips are things I can’t find anywhere else. Thanks dude.
That screwdriver trick for hold the gears is definitely a great hack. Thank you sir 👌
No problem 👍
This is the only video on you tube that show the bike start up after a cam change great video mate thank lot trick showing how to get around things and same bit money thank you for this video mate.
I think my head would explode with the amount of knowledge this dude has on motors
😂😂 Mine has definitely exploded a few times
Definitely do more of these in depth install videos! Love to learn and watch these videos on TH-cam but there always long and boring as hell!! Best install video on TH-cam, keep it up Kruesi and crew!! Great video/editing too!
Thank you 🙏
Man, I love watching your videos.
And it kills me how easy you make things look.
Thanks.
Fantastic vid. Hey man, I appreciate the knowledge and straight forward approach you have on these. Looking forward to more great content!
Notice: when he's putting the bolts back in the cam chest, where he identifies that if the manufacturer says loctite he does that, or if they say assembly lube or oil, what the manufacturer says, he does THAT!
GREAT point to be attentive too is bearing explanations
For anyone complaining, THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST EDUCATION YOU CAN GET!
Awesome video guys! Im ready for that night train rebuild series!
I'm preparing for a drop on kit hone install. Your insight is valuable, and your sense of humor bang on! Thanks for the help! Love from Georgetown, CA
Honestly one of the best install videos I’ve ever seen
Thank you 🙏
I 2nd this. One of the best if not the best.
Ryan you are the Dominic Toretto of the Harley world ! respect brother!
🙏 a quarter mile at a time
yours was not the first cam change I've seen, But the most senceical and entertaining I absorbed a load. Thanks
Hell yeah! I apply that rule everywhere. Your work station says a lot about you. Keep’em coming brother! Great work
You’ve given me a ton of confidence to work on my own shit and get wild on my dyna, thanks homie
🤘🏼🤘🏼
I was looking for supplemental info on cam change and found your videos. I’m a student at MMI and man, I learned a lot just watching this, Thanks, I’m surely subscribing to your channel.
If you are curious about HD training videos, check out some channels like Kevin Baxter and Hammer Performance! Kevin specializes in Twin Cam and m8 motors and Hammer Performance specializes in Sportsters. Those two channels are an absolute wealth of knowledge!
Thank you so much. Will definitely check them out.
Thank you for this video, I plan on installing cams on my 2007 FXSTC TC96 when I switch to a 2-into-1 exhaust during the winter, so I am starting my learning now in June. I work in a Harley shop, so when the techs are doing cam jobs I try to observe what they are doing, but I am really busy. The shop charges 8 hrs of labor to do a cam job, and even with my discount, that is out of my reach. So just like everything else, I need to learn to do it myself.
Right now I am gathering the tools needed, so your tips on the essential tools and the things I can get a Harbor Freight, really helps this poor guy. I don't even have a garage, so I gotta figure out where I will be doing the work, I will probably build a shed to do it in. I got a garage planned, but the cost of materials now doesn't allow it.
again thank you for this kind of videos, the way to explain things really worked for me. I am mechanically inclined, I just don't have the knowledge or experience on big twins, like I do on other things.
Morning…one hell of a video and a channel! Seriously real world no BS style is awesome great content keep up the excellent work you are making a difference my brotha! Be well…Mark G
Much appreciated!
you helped me get my 06RK's cam chest reloaded--thank you for your videos
glad we could help
To prime with a dummy light is genius. Love these guys . The knowledge is real . Pay attention ppl the real ones are out here @ kruesi’s
Thank you 🙏
Kick ass! My 08 dyna is at the shop right now, thanks for the tip on the crank runout because I was going to ask them what it measured!
Hey Krusei, another great video. I've been working on gas turbines and Harleys for over 40 years and I am truly impressed with your technique & skills. I was so happy that you didn't tell people to use the Red Loctite. BTW I never used crank to get high - I just liked the way it smelled.
informative...You're good! I do my own wrenchin and not many I would allow to touch my bikes but You are clean and thorough and do it right..
Thank you 🙏
Ryan is truly one of the OG's. Wouldn't personally attempt to do this on my bike, but I still dig watching it get done. Next time show the bike running! A before and after would be cool.
There’s two things my dad drilled into me when I was a kid. Always have a way to tell time and always carry a knife!
Man that was a really good vid. I’m just dipping my toe back in the water on Harleys. Haven’t had one since ‘93. I’ve been catching up on what is what from year to year before I run off and buy someone else’s mess. Super helpful.
Welcome back🦅🔥
Respect Bruh. In Ghana Africa learning from you.
28:26 ... it's interesting how Fueling suggest oiling the cam plate bolts and yet S&S say to use Loctite. Both are respected vendors in the industry. A big thumbs up to R.K. for telling it in his own words.
Another excellent video, thank you. Ryan, you have a talent for comic comments that makes these DIY's a lot of fun.
Ryan's videos are always fun and full of how too's. really appreciate all the years of tribal knowledge and experience you share on your vids! Cheers from Arkansas- keep ripping bro!
Thank you my dude I appreciate it
I'm glad you showed where that extra screw goes I have the same cam plate doing a upgrade. Warning must be 18 to watch this video.
Will you recreate this video with an old style twin cam, evo, m8 whenever you get time? I know how to do them all, but there’s many they don’t and you are probably the best information video creator I’ve ever watched. I’m a fan, so I watch these build videos anyway but so many people could learn from you
Thank you
I am novice when it comes to the twin cam engines. I am EVO guy. But this video was very informative. Thank you for the insight. Cool.
Wow that runout is unseen. Really enjoyed this one. Cheers
Also think that song was Tokyo from fast and furious Tokyo drift.
Great video. Informative and entertaining at the same time.
Thanks for making these videos man! Planning on putting a Fueling 574 in my 2008 SG, after watching this I'll feel better tackling it myself.
Buy a service manual and just take your time
@@kruesioriginals update. just installed cams this weekend! Went fueling plate and oil pump with Woods TW555 cams. I watched this video 50 times before diving in hahah. Thanks again!
Great videos! I’ve been following you for 10yrs💪👍👍
Homie teaches in an hour what it takes a week to teach at MMI. Trust me. I went. Been there, done that, got the t shirt.
Man wish I watched this before I bought a cam locking tool... Great video dude, you have helped me out!
Glad to hear we can help, thank you 🤘🏼
doubt i will ever change a cam but i watched the entire video. awesome tutorial.
Great video. There are a lot of little things you threw in there that just make sense, but I sure wouldn't have thought of it... You have some skill there, dude. Subscribed and I'll pass your channel on to some of the other knuckleheads I ride with. Thanks.
Thank you my friend
You have any videos on how you do the cams on a Evo engine? I love your step by step with the twist of much needed, and necessary sense of humor lol quickly becoming my favorite “motorcycle mechanic enthusiast” 😅
I haven’t touched an Evo in over eight years I would say. Thankfully.
Guy knows more niche things about harleys than anyone I know
Really appreciate your videos, great that you share your knowledge. Ride on.
Thank you
Great Video, I learned A LOT! look forward to more of your How-To content!
Great video. No BS and to the point.
Great video, Thanks. Makes me want to go out and tear my bike apart. Well, as soon as I get another $2K to blow. The only thing that gave me pause was seeing you beating on those bearings. You sure took an awful chance there. It is really easy to get a piece of flat stock and drill a couple of holes in it. Find a bolt or some all thread to push them in with. Or, if you have an old clutch spring compressor for an Ironhead Sportster you could use that.
Just a matter of time before this channel blows up. Great content!
wicked very informative video keep up the wicked content
Man you definitely know your stuff. Funny as hell too
Thank you 🙏
I heard he is a really nice genuine dude LFG Ryan K keep up the great work bro 🔥🤘🏼🔥
I,m an old fart and I love your videos. No bs just get it done. Right
I did all that on my 02 fxd...Yett'..man I wish I could have watched this vid...You really were and are helpfull...Thanks for the mem or ee's...You rock'...
picked up a 2005 Deluxe with 12K miles on it. I want to have the cam chain adjusters changed out because the stock ones I found were junk. This bike is going to be my putt-around bike that I won't be putting a lot of miles on. I ride my 17RGS for putting on miles. I was thinking just New adjusters and keeping everything else stock. The shop I go to told me $850 and that is going through the rocker boxes. I didn't think sinking hydraulic adjusters and cams is what I will need for this putt-in-around bike.. what are your thoughts,, GREAT videos too...
Did the zip tie tire trick over the weekend . Works Rad !
Hell yes
@@kruesioriginals I feel like smoking the tire off just so I can try that trick hahaha
Awesome videos, love the humor!
Thank you i
Good job bro, outstanding !
What tha F dude !
You are awesome, comical and Real.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and views. Knowledge is power. Ride on , keep the breeze between your knees.
😮 Life in the fast Lane. Sure to make you lose your mind 🏁
Well this video worked out perfect for my soon to be twin cam upgrade.
Thank you so much easier seeing it than reading some oily directions
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. Awesome video and instruction. 🤙🏼
No problem 👍
Very good info. 1 question. Is the 4 turn push rod adjustment only for new cam installations? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the tutorial. I really benefitted.
Dude! So informative and laughed my ass off the whole video 😂😂
Thank you
Nice touch with that tank lol … you have to get up a little bit earlier though to pull the wall over my eyes 👀!! I’m just messing with you guys as always cheers from Sacramento
Can you explain heat cycling a fresh build and dyno breaking process?
Cool video I'm definitely gonna have to take a ride out to your shop
When you cut the pushrods you should turn the motor over to remove the pressure off of the side you are cutting
This is definitely the best video out there and entertaining to, great!!!!
Great video, enjoy the long form content.
Good job Ryan!!!!
Learned a lot on video would like to see 03 cam plate and high volume oil pump install
Same thing basically as this
Just used this video to do cams on my 07 street bob. Great video. Got it all tied up and using the test light to prime. It's not priming 🙄 . Not sure what the deal is.
Sometimes it’s takes a while. It helps if you fill the oil filter full of oil and put it on. Should’ve done that anyways when you put fresh oil in it before you tried to prime it.
If it’s still not working you need to take it apart you probably did something wrong
@@kruesioriginals when I had the test light on the sending unit I noticed it lit up just sitting on the plug. I wasn't actually putting it on the connector part of the plug. My dumb mistake. But all good! Thanks for the walk through video. It worked great 🤘
What are your thoughts about replacing the breathers in The Rocker Box.
Thank you, this is a great video. Keep kicking ass.
I know this is old as hell but question since I’m doing this upgrade right now. 2010 96” tc touring. Do I put the boss hole or leave it open?
I believe you leave it open. You only plug it for a softtail which has a balanced engine.
Good vid mate, 🍻 cheers
Thanks 👍
I see that you assembled the pump into the case first and then placed the plate with the cams into the case. Feuling's instructions tell you to hand tighten the pump to the plate first and then place the whole assembly into the case as a unit. Is there any particular reason that you did it in that sequence? I'm about to do this on my 2004 Dyna.
Do it my way trust me it’s a lot easier. Follow all of their alignment procedures but install it my way. If you don’t have an alignment to order a line all the sprockets inside the oil pump you will play hell getting that thing on that way
Very F'n cool video, no BS, to the point, but detailed. liked it..........done, subscribed..........done!
Thank you 🙏
For the cam chain torque process i used the handle of my hook tool between the gears and the chain but ill try a screwdriver next time. Watch the older videos like reruns and still earn new things every time.
Ryan good video. I noticed when you cut the old pushrods out you weren't concern about tension on the rods themselves. After watching I'm guessing its ok to cut the rods even if your on the compression stroke?
Doesn’t matter
I just installed S&S 475 chain cam & cam chest kit in my m8 last night.
Real good stuff
Thanks a bunch man….the best so far….with a bit of comedy
Thank you my dude I appreciate it
Do the lifters just go in or they go in a certain way?
