My S&S 475 kit is OTW, I will def. be playing and pausing this vid ALOT in the shop during my install. Thank you for this very comprehensive/ in depth install vid, sir.
I've threatened to do my own cam for a year, the day I purchased my Road Glide. But it was only a threat. A lift from my wife and this video...not a threat anymore. Hot video. The rod cover tip, showing the pump gears, and guide screws correction gives you much credibility. Phat! Subscribed 2FD brother ET1(SS/SW/MTS) US Navy, Ret.
Great video!!! I’m gonna install a stage 2 kit on my own now. One question, when adjusting the pushrods you make 4 fully turns after the slight contact? Others say to make only 2.5 turns sofort a correct adjustment??
If you are using the S&S pushrods I would set them at 4 turns from zero lash(initial contact). But different brand pushrods use different adjustments. We just released a video explaining why there are different adjustments and what your trying to accomplish. Check it out and let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you, I wish I had this video back in March 24, I would’ve saved myself 1500 doll hairs. Awesome, feeling more confident if I change my current cam.
Very nice and detailed video on how to install a cam. I thinking the only thing that wasn’t mentioned is to put the bike in 6 gear to rotate the motor. Or did I miss something ? Can’t wait to install mine
Nice vid! I would only say I would never use ANY loctite on oil pump, Camplate, or tensioner bolts. It’s not needed and last thing you want is loctite possibly running through your oil pump if Joe Blow uses too much. Just put 262 thread locker on the cam and pinion bolts and ur good to go
What do you suggest if your crankshaft run out is .008” ? I’ve read Harley’s serviceable limits are .012”! I’m leaning towards leaving the stock cam plate and oil pump in because of the run out on mine.🤷♂️ Doesn’t give me a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing these crank shafts are not true but I’m extremely new at all this.
I have acquired all parts needed for stage 2. CR 483 cam, SS 55 mm intake 5.5 injectors D&D Fat Cat 2-1. Using your video I will be installing this Saturday. Thanks again Tony for the detailed video!!!
@@MarkGonzalez-vh5pu we are currently working on a series of videos about EFI tuning, how the system works and why you should properly tune your motorcycle.
Great Video, Im contemplating tackling this project on my own. What Cam Kit do You recommend. 18 RG Special 107? Also what exhaust is on that bike in the video? Sounds great!
We really like the Woods 22XE or the Star 30/30 cam. Shoot us an email and we can help you put together a package. This bike has an HPI shorty exhaust.
It will definitely void your warranty, but this bike wasn't under warranty anyways. Usually getting the most performance out of your bike and HD factory warranties don't mix, you have to pick one or the other.
@@Magic-i1o I only pull the left side plugs front and rear. No need to pull the tank and the center plug if you’re just needing to relieve cranking pressure.
My 2023 RKS had a full roller bearing as well. I just did some upgrades and was surprised to not see the typical caged bearing. I replaced mine just to be safe.
I need to do a ride in for some parts install….19 Road Glide..already have the Screaming Eagle orange oil pump plate all that ,it has an SE “torque” cam..thinking a Red shift 468 with bearing, lifters and gaskets. replace the plastic intake manifold, tune. I have an SE tune on it now. Currently have Khromewerks mufflers on “hidaway” header..maybe make it a true dual or a 2/1. Tune. I have a TMax tuner not on bike. Do you work with those? Recommend even?
Can you tell me which way the lifters drop in pertaining to the small oil hole that is in the side of the lifter. Do they drop in with the oil hole on each lifter facing each other? Hope this makes sense. I have new s&s lifters that I will be putting in. Didn't pay attention to how the stock ones came out.
There’s some differences in opinion on that but the oil hits the lifters from all the way around and we’ve never found that it really matters what way they are facing.
There are a ton of different cams out there and they all perform differently. On this bike, we installed this cam because it's the one the customer wanted, but we have seen really good results with a lot of the Woods cams. The S&S cams are a great option too though.
Dilemma about ordering a chain driven cam or a gear driven cam. I wont know what my runout is untill i tear it down. Or is there a way to check my runout without fully tearing my cam chest down?
Also i dont have a runout gauge my 2017 roadglide ultra has 20k miles you think ill have an issue with a chain drive sns cam kit ? I already ordered it but some say runout with chain isnt a big deal
@@TuckerSpeed477 no engine codes or anything just some weird intake noise but other than that we are good i watched this video so much and never subscribed but i am now thank you again
I must tell you I haven’t seen a video this thorough I mean thorough so what can you suggest for a 2014 Triglide Trike I already have the stage one looking forward to getting a stage two what would you suggest for me then I can give you guys a call thank you
Question if i may i followed all steps. Bike is working good but i keep getting CHECK ENGINE code PO330 and i cant seem to remove it. Once cleared it comes back. Bike works fine just code keeps coming back. Any guidance would be appreciated
It's videos like this that make me want to get a cam. Dammit! 😂 By chance do you trade teenagers for motorcycle parts?!? 😂 Great video! Keep em coming!
I’ll watch this ten more times while I wait on my parts to arrive 👍🏾

@@TuckerSpeed477 yes I go with a S&S oil pump, S&S pushrods and the S&S precision lifters, so 4 full turns should be fine :-)
One of the best explanations for this procedure . Well done
Thank you!
Great idea on the feeler gauge's. I am going to start doing it like that from now on. Thanks for the tip!!
Thank you, I wish I had this video back in March 24, I would’ve saved myself 1500 doll hairs. Awesome, feeling more confident if I change my current cam.
Very professional and informative video. Dude is a master mechanic!
Thank you!
Ugh im terrified to do this myself but i may just attack it its the push rod and tdc im doubtful of
Just take your time and pay close attention and you'll be fine.
Same here.
Tucker where are you located?
@@ericolson8708 we are in Ogden Utah.
Yeah I think I would feel the same 😮
Very nice and detailed video on how to install a cam. I thinking the only thing that wasn’t mentioned is to put the bike in 6 gear to rotate the motor. Or did I miss something ? Can’t wait to install mine
Good point. You definitely want to put it in a high gear to be able to turn the motor easier.
Nice vid!

Awesome, glad it was helpful!
Great video, I am glad I had it done by profeesionals :)
Great explanation thanks

How much for all those parts total?

Going with the Woods Cam..wouldn’t that potentially void your warranty?
It will definitely void your warranty, but this bike wasn't under warranty anyways. Usually getting the most performance out of your bike and HD factory warranties don't mix, you have to pick one or the other.
You said Spark plugs? How and when did you remove them with tank in place?
@@Magic-i1o I only pull the left side plugs front and rear. No need to pull the tank and the center plug if you’re just needing to relieve cranking pressure.
@ cool deal. Always looking to learn something new
My 2023 lowrider st had the upgraded cam bearing already in it. And I'm 1st owner
No, it didn't then.
@Slking507 yeah it did! I know what I bought and what was in it
@@Slking507 how many 2023s have you done?
My 2023 RKS had a full roller bearing as well. I just did some upgrades and was surprised to not see the typical caged bearing. I replaced mine just to be safe.

Ya, that would be rad. Hit us up when your thinking of getting it done. And yes we can tune with T-max but I still prefer the Power Vision.
Can you tell me which way the lifters drop in pertaining to the small oil hole that is in the side of the lifter. Do they drop in with the oil hole on each lifter facing each other? Hope this makes sense. I have new s&s lifters that I will be putting in. Didn't pay attention to how the stock ones came out.
There’s some differences in opinion on that but the oil hits the lifters from all the way around and we’ve never found that it really matters what way they are facing.
What is the thought process of installing a different cam instead of the S&S cam? Thank you for your time.
There are a ton of different cams out there and they all perform differently. On this bike, we installed this cam because it's the one the customer wanted, but we have seen really good results with a lot of the Woods cams. The S&S cams are a great option too though.
I would also consider talking with a local engine builder and look at dyno sheets to find a cam combination that fits your riding style..
What are the dyno numbers
We did a follow up video going over the dyno results. th-cam.com/video/Cny8vjyrR6w/w-d-xo.html
Dilemma about ordering a chain driven cam or a gear driven cam. I wont know what my runout is untill i tear it down. Or is there a way to check my runout without fully tearing my cam chest down?
@@vf12497439 there is no way to know until you tear down. I would run chain drive unless you were planning a using a new “very” true crank.
Also i dont have a runout gauge my 2017 roadglide ultra has 20k miles you think ill have an issue with a chain drive sns cam kit ? I already ordered it but some say runout with chain isnt a big deal
A chain drive cam is definitely the better option if you don't know the runout. It's always good to check, but you will most likely be fine.
@@TuckerSpeed477well i did it !!! She sounds soo good now need a dyno !!! Thanks brother your video is what i watched the whole time

Give us a call or shoot us an email and we can help you get setup!
Do you need to upgrade the oil pump for a ‘23 M8 if the cam is the only upgrade you plan on doing?
Would 100% recommend
2020 should already have a upgraded pump from Harley
if I am having a shop other than Harley Davidson do this install how much should I be paying for labor. Thank
@@michaelrobertson366 depends on the shop. Our labor rate is $95/hr. Usually around 6-7 hours plus a dyno tune.
Schweet, thanks bro!

How do I buy a vacuum mason jar from your company?
We have them for sale on our website - tuckerspeed.com/products/jims-tappet-vacuum-pump-up-tool
Question if i may i followed all steps. Bike is working good but i keep getting CHECK ENGINE code PO330 and i cant seem to remove it. Once cleared it comes back. Bike works fine just code keeps coming back. Any guidance would be appreciated
P0330 code is for knock sensor issue. I would start with the connector on them.
Looks like the valve tube and adjustment is the most tricky part of the job
Are you using the stock intake manifold ?
This bike is running the S&S 55mm manifold.
It's videos like this that make me want to get a cam. Dammit! 😂 By chance do you trade teenagers for motorcycle parts?!? 😂
Great video! Keep em coming!
Trading in a teenager actually ADDS to the cost of your cam 😂.
@@TuckerSpeed477 🤣🤣
Where is your shop ?
We are located in Ogden, Utah.
My wheel won’t rotate an it won’t let me put it in 6th gear
If so can u recamend size for 107
We really like the S&S 55 manifold. Or if you upgrade to something like an HPI 62mm throttle body, it will include a larger manifold.
Too much torque on cam oil cover.
Nah
Why the hip music that’s so in touch with today’s modern youth ?
