How do you know that the spacer between the bearings was the correct size, you never showed checking the play between them? And don't try and tell me that was a matched set, there is no way to match the bearings, and the spacer, without having the cases.
To install the bearing on the shaft I heat the bearing up in a pot of oil that is heated till it just begins to smoke ,and then slide it on the shaft . Not have a hammer and a length of pipe in case the bearing need a little persuasion to find its seat . No special tools needed.
Don't know why per say but I really dig those EVO Motors! Used to have a Rottweiler years ago that passed away, his name was Evo!👍 Great video Brother!
I bought a 2002 FLSTC last summer and a wrecked 2001 Road King in Dec. I was looking for an EVO when I got these two twin cams. I am an old dude that has a lot of experience with fatheads pans and shoveheads and I do not like these new Harley's they are designed so you can't do your own work. Shovel motors are basically a garden tractor I like my 72 FLH. I think I will sell this Road King as soon as I got it back on the road and maybe my Soft tail too and hunt down a EVO or another good FLH Shovelhead. Great video thanks.
The S wrench you were using was designed that way for fitting into tight places on locomotives, back when steam and even early diesel engines were used. Auto manufacturers, Henry Ford fallowed suit in the design for the same reasons. Pretty Cool wrench you have Mike!
Sir, your channel is great. I will definitely stay tuned. You sound as cool as you look. You're a lot less grumpy around Harleys than Tatro at Tatro Machine. I don't think he sleeps, though. Best regards from a DOD civilian in South Korea riding harleys all over the peninsula.
Really appreciate your videos Mike, have been watching for some time now. I'm currently in process of rebuilding my 67 shovelhead engine and it's helpful watching someone else going thru the same motions.

You didn't check the bearing free play or clearance like Tatro does. That should be done as part of a quality rebuild. Clearances and fitment matter.

So nice to see a bike/car you tube post from a gentleman with years of experience who talks sensibly and is not a show off.

Hi Mike: I used to put the Crank-shaft in the fridge for twenty
minutes. Then warm the bearings so that they get bigger than the crank-shaft
Really appreciate your videos Mike, have been watching for some time now. I'm currently in process of rebuilding my 67 shovelhead engine and it's helpful watching someone else going thru the same motions.
Oh boy I love the mix of home made and shop bought tools that work perfectly well.... looks a good work out for my friend!!! 👍😎👍
It's nice to have the correct tool for the job. Cheers Mike
And yet another cool video!! Thanks for these!
Love the videos, cool tools... and that killer old leather belt you are wearing.
Hey Mike. New to the channel. Really liking the videos. Very informative. Ive got a 98 Fatboy, and I love my Evo motor! She is a true road warrior.
