part wizard magician and mechanic. I love the quick diagnosis in the earlier video, cutting a new step and dimples without removing. I really enjoyed watching this set of vids.
the chisel spreads the flywheels apart. the hammer makes things move. the trick is where and how hard you hit it. every move has more than one effect and not always as you expect it to go. i try to show the why and way to do it in all of my videos. you can only learn by doing it. thinking about it only gets you so far. tatro
...So....why doesn't Harley just make the bearing cages the same width as the female rod? And what's up with those apparent 'welded' areas 180 degrees from the crank-pin on the inside of the flywheels...? I had 2 1972's and a 73.....don't recall the 'stepped' brass washer/s...
short bearings don't twist and lock up like long rollers do. that is why you have three shorter bearings. the welded areas are something that someone else did. probably something to do with balancing? the stepped washers are for cage clearances. harley was saving some money again on someones elses rods bearing instead of staying with something that worked. accorse harley then changed all of the washers to the stepped design even if you stayed with the earlier correct rod cages. now you can buy brand new worn out washers for your harley, great. tatro
why not. how else are you going to do it dumbass. 45 years and going so far and dad did it for longer than that. all that on only two different truing stands that both still work just fine. tatro
i explain as i go on the technique i am using to do the job. if you watch you can see what is going on and why i kit where i do and how hard i hit to get the result i am after. until you try it yourself you don't get everything i am doing. tatro

When you are using the big chisel at about 1:15,what are you prying on before you use the hammer?It's view is obscured by the flywheel.Thank You!

After seeing how easy it is to shift a Harley crank I am shocked that they hold together at all in the engine while running.
is the flywheels made of aluminium or steel?
all harleys use steel. you can tell when i pick them up.

Tatro Machine...Harley....trying to save money....so cut costs on the most important part of the motor...crank....and then the cam/s
is this a joke? every one knows you cant hit the flywheels when they are in the truing stand
why not. how else are you going to do it dumbass. 45 years and going so far and dad did it for longer than that. all that on only two different truing stands that both still work just fine.

@@TatroMachine you are a hack
This wasn't a "how to" video. It was a "watch me" video.
