When getting ready to disassemble will both push rods be loose to just take out? Also, on install how to you work the push rods back in so they are not applying pressure anywhere that is not good for the bolts on top of the rocker box. Thank you for the video
At top dead center (TDC) of the compression stroke, the intake and exhaust pushrods will have no pressure on them. This is the recommended position for removal and installation
Great video! Out of curiosity, what does the process look like prior to starting the bike for the 1st time after a cam replacement? I've heard someone say that you should remove the spark plugs first, but that didn't make any sense to me.
Good idea to do the lifters if they have 20k or more. Great debate on the best lifters to use… sometimes depends on supply. I’ve bought new ones from the HD dealership to do jobs. I’ve used them with success
Son's friend said he took the cover off to get it powder coated and his cam fell out?! Wants me to fix it. I can't see any way for a cam to just fall out. Guess I'll find out.
CrackerJack Mechanic I was expecting a soup sandwich. I didn’t know the engine on his bike was different from the engine in a ‘Glide...Pulled the plugs, put her in 5th, pried up the lifter and rotated the wheel to get it off the cam lobe. Easy-peasy.
I don't even have a HD and I still enjoyed watching this. Gotta get a bike now.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed watching!
I've watched a lot of pretty good Twin Cam videos this past month. This is the best one I've seen yet.
Thanks!

Great video really appreciate torque values and the use of brake pedal instead of locking tool
💯👍🏼
Good video, I learned alot. Thanks.
Thanks! Glad it helped
What are the toque specs for the rocker bolts and rocker assembly bolts/ great videos
Sorry I dont have the info on hand... email me a photo and I will email you back the info on Monday crackerjackmechanic@yahoo.ca
Very informative .. Thanks
🙏🏼✌🏼
Great video! Just did this project myself. Bike runs with open throttle but won't start at closed throttle. Do you have any suggestions? TIA!
what year is your bike?
@@CrackerJackMechanic 2006 SG. Thank you for responding so quickly!
Turns out the problem was idle air control valve. Bad timing for that to happen!
@@kyled2580 great to know that!. And yes that is indeed bad timing!

I question that as well
should i replace the lifters when i replace the cams? i have (Andrews 37H) going in. Is there a complete gasket / bearing kit that you prefer?

You forgot to check the cam gear alinment with a straight edge
Indeed, that is worth noting. In this case, I didn’t actually change cams either, so their actual length didn’t change. But good you’re watching. ✌🏼

love the 🇺🇸!
If I get ahold of a factory service manual for my dyna streetbob is this a manageable DIY project to save some money ?
It does require some special tools.
@@CrackerJackMechanic Awesome thanks for the reply !
Do you have a video on installing tappets on a Harley?
What would you like to know?
Also I wonder if my 2003 screaming eagle 103 motor on my cvo road king has screaming eagle pushrods?....
Not 100 percent sure on the CVOs... the 120R engine is a beast of it's own
@@CrackerJackMechanic ...thanks for getting back to me man!.... I subbed to your channel
No Loctite on the chain tensioner bolts ?
I've done it both ways. Make sure you get the bolts and holes oil free. Proper torque is essential.
Son's friend said he took the cover off to get it powder coated and his cam fell out?! Wants me to fix it. I can't see any way for a cam to just fall out. Guess I'll find out.
Yeah, the cover is the support plate for one end of each of the 4 cams.

Why would you need new cams in a motor like this anyway?
Not necessarily. It's usually wants more than needs!
Just saying
