    Dude, you're the type of guy that when a customer is lucky to have you work on their bike, they should never let anyone else touch it. Awesome job. Great attention to detail and a perfectionist mind. Love it. Keep'em coming!

    I've seen a couple 131 kit installs on TH-cam and you probably know who they are...You are very conscientious and thorough. The best I've seen yet.

    You’re obviously a man who cares about his work. Anyone would be lucky to have you work on their bike. I don’t know if you do this when your cleaning parts, but you wouldn’t believe how much dirt I have removed from the center of the wrist pin. I push a brake clean soaked rag through the center and they always come out filthy. Keep up the great work!

  • @kineticmoto8813
    @kineticmoto8813 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Awesome video one tip that has saved me headaches is to cover under the piston with a towel before attempting to put the wrist pin circlip on. Sometimes they pop out trying to get them in and can easily fall in the crankcase.

    i believe you should of installed temporary only for a few mins the backing plate for the air cleaner to only hold up straight the face of the intake manifold before tighten down the intake manifold so the intake manifold is correctly aligned to the heads for easy install of the 2 large bolts to the head going into the air cleaner backing plate. but everything you did that i saw was excellent...

    Great job on the assembly! You would make a great instructor. Brilliant way to prove the install was done correctly, so that Harley would warranty the kit. I noticed that you also maintained the rpm below 2500 during the break in period to further guarantee your professionalism, and to prove your work. I’m a novice. Great video!

    • @lizotte50
      @lizotte50 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Curious what is the break in period I'm getting a 131 installed then going from MA to Kentucky. Do you think it will be ok? I should mention I am on a 2021 Low rider S.

    • @HarleyDavidsonWizard
      @HarleyDavidsonWizard  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Conventional theory says to use the brake in procedure in your owners manuals, like vary engine speeds and avoid prolonged constant speed, like express way riding. And that's probably the best thing to do. The shop may have a process of heat cycling the engine 3 times and loading it so the rings seat well. If so it be just fine le that also. At different shop that's how we did it for decades and never once did we have a problem.

  • @terryeddy8538
    @terryeddy8538 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Awesome work and technique but one thing that I did not like is right before you lift the cylinders to far I would think it imperative to stuff rags in the upper crank case in case of loose debris or more importantly a broken ring fragment could have fallen in the crankcase unknowingly or even seen still could be a nightmare.

As a customer, you are the tech everyone wants because we spend serious money on our bikes, I need it to run! I am retiring on June 30, I need a good touring bike.

    Brad, thank you for the new video. I am always so impressed with the quality of your workmanship. The question is, I gather this kit can be installed without any upgrade to the crankshaft and pushrods of the stock motor - a 114 I suspect? Does a complete crate 131 motor also use the same "bottom end" of the 114?
    Thanks

    • @HarleyDavidsonWizard
      @HarleyDavidsonWizard  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes. This 131 kit is installed on a stock 114 bottom end, flywheel, pushrods ect. And yes when you buy a 131 crate motor it comes with the exact " same as stock 114 " normal crank cases, flywheel, pushrod ect. Thanks for the complement!

    • @HarleyDavidsonWizard
      @HarleyDavidsonWizard  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The screaming eagle kits use your stock clutch. Even with the 131 stage 4 kit your stick clutch will hold it. U can use the OEM cam support plate and oil pump that's in the bike now. We do alot of them that way and they work well. If you want higher end stuff, screaming eagle sells a higher end canplate and oil pump that would work well with it or a S&S or Fueling stuff are nice but not required.

  • @Manonymous108
    @Manonymous108 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Do you leave the stock "plastic" lifter cuffs in when doing this? What is your opinion of Screaming Eagle parts and the expected longevity of the motor when using these parts as opposed to something like S&S parts that are often manufactured under different manufacturing standards? Also do you ever run into problems with the stock transmission assy when increasing the torque with these stage IV kits? The reason I ask is I have seen a couple of videos where the customer with a big smile on his face starts slamming thru the gears with the new build and blows up the transmission or snapping the rear drive belt while pulling the front wheel up off the ground.

    • @HarleyDavidsonWizard
      @HarleyDavidsonWizard  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Alot of times I reuse the plastic lifter cuffs, its really only if the s&s metal cuffs were up sold at the time of purchase or if the customer specifically asks for them. I haven't seen 1 problem with the plastic lifter cuffs so reusing them isn't a problem for me. Sportsters have had a plastic lifter cuff since 04 and LS chevy engines have plastic lifter cuffs so that's how I think about them. But with either option, metal or plastic I havent seen A single cuff related problem come across my bench. As for how I feel about s&s engine kits vs screaming eagle engine kits is a tough question because 95% of engine kits we install / work on are screaming eagle and so percentage wise I see many less s&s equipped bikes and also less s&s failures. I'm not super fond of screaming eagle "bigger bore" cylinders that's 117 twin cam engines I'd stay away from. And the same cylinder technology is used in the M8 screaming eagle 128/131 kit. But they seem to do much better. If it were me spending the cash I'd use s&s thicker wall cylinders + pistons and I like how s&s makes there cams and cams plates and oil pumps better so I'd buy the s&s stuff. But I see the other side of the coin too. Where a customer wants to keep warranty and possability buy extended service protection and that bacically means screaming eagle stuff for them. And the screaming eagle stuff is cheaper upfront so people like that. Situation dependent. I used to see a lot more trans problems and I don't know if m8 transmissions have gotten better but I rarely see a messed up 3rd gear like we used to. If a belt is tensioned right or tighter for a higher performance engine they can be super reliable and problem free so it all depends on how you use it. I've seen more broken belts on trikes from people admitting to popping/riding wheelies vs broken belts from power.

    Will doing a big bore kit cause crank runout to worsen faster than a stock motor? Are there any specific actions that cause crank runout to get worse quicker? Everyone I see doing a big inch build has recommended balancing, truing, pinning, and welding the flywheel.

    • @HarleyDavidsonWizard
      @HarleyDavidsonWizard  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Balancing, truing, pinning, and welding the flywheel is mostly for peace of mind. If you want the best of the best, highest quality stuff and cost is not a problem it's available. Shock loading is the main reason flywheels shift and have runout out problems. The only times i've seen flywheels shift is when something in the transmission or primary breaks and the engine stops rotating instantly form a mid or high rpm. I like the highest quality stuff so I like using balanced and trued flywheels but in a dealership environment we normally don't do full out, no expense spared builds. But if the engine cases are split, you might as well send the flywheel out and have it worked, you'll be happy you did later. Even if its just for peace of mind.

    What Tapered Ring Compressor would I need if I’m putting a 110 kit in my twin cam and what one if I’m just putting my twin cam back with stock rings? Thank.

    Have you ever done a big bore on a Slim w/ laced wheels? I'm thinking of going w/ a 124" or 128" kit this winter on my 2018 Slim. I'd like to know if the laced wheels will hold up though. Or should I go to cast wheels? I don't do wheelies or burnouts. Thanks

    • @HarleyDavidsonWizard
      @HarleyDavidsonWizard  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Laced wheels will hold up to alot of power. U just have to keep the spokes tight and u won't have any problems. I haven't done a big kit on a slim but I've done huge kit on older touring bikes when they came with laced wheels and have had no problems. Do the 128 kit tho.

    Wizard I want to do this kit on a 2021 M8 114. Do you suggest a significant benefit from the aftermarket cam plate and pumps ? I have read they claim significant cooler oil temps. You are an excellent tech.

    I'm surprised you did not put a rag/towel under the piston when you installed the piston pin retaining clip incase you dropped it into the crank case .

    I have one question....typically does oil flow to the oil filter from the oil pump to the inside of the filter outwards?...or from the pump to the outside of the filter returning from the inside?

    • @HarleyDavidsonWizard
      @HarleyDavidsonWizard  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ya. Oil flows from the pump, past the oil pressure switch into the oil filter. It enters the outside of the filter, flows through the filter media and exits the filter through the center of the filter and flows through the cam plate and rest of the engine.

    I noticed that the axles of rockers are screwed in head base, thats mean not noise as we have to use lockers rockers in oldest model, what is your opinion?

    • @HarleyDavidsonWizard
      @HarleyDavidsonWizard  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think rocker lockers are not necessary but also dont hurt. I feel like from a visual standpoint the twin cam had a more robust and solid rocker arm mount situation but with that being said I also haven't seen or broken any milwaukee 8 rocker arm mounts so it must be engineered well.

    Nice content again !
    One question though :
    Do you have to remove everything to swap lower rocker box covers ?
    Or can you slide them out ?
    (I'm taliking about a Softail 114 bur I assume it is pretty much the same as a Touring)
    Thank you Sir !

    Amazing video Brad! What a cool video. Did that take you only one day? I have a 2015 Ultra Limited with the S.E. 110. Going to keep it and get a 2023 Street Glide ST and bump up to 131. Wonder if I'll feel the power difference? :). I hope all HD mechanics have the same skill sets and attn to detail

      @HarleyDavidsonWizard  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think this video took me 2 days to record. You'll notice a difference in power going from your twin cam yo a milwaukee a for sure. And it's another noticeable bump in power when you do the 131.

      @@HarleyDavidsonWizard Hey Brad, I have another question for you. Wondering what would you do? If you bought a new Street Glide, would you do the 131 stage 4 or consider the all new 135 replacement? I really wish you were in the Milwaukee area. Will you be coming by for the 120th? Lots to do here in Milwaukee this July
