Torn Up but Not for Long

[Dr.D]

Finally I’m getting the Lush pistons and cams installed along with the Bryant pipe system.

Just in case you all are wondering if I was doing the work? H3ll to the no!

If I was the tread title would be “Torn up Forever”.

Mel your bike is looking very light it will all be worth it and I look forward to seeing it at Maggie Valley

I see the blow torch is at the ready....for 'insurance purposes' should the bike never work again i assume...

Why pull the motor for pistons and cams?
Pull the head
Pull the sump etc
Pull the Connecting rod caps and extract pistons
All while engine is still fitted - Unless you are doing some transmission work too.

The shop that is doing the work is a competent motor builder and they but they have never torn down a Rocket. They told me they were going to buy a service manual. They did say it was the tightest toughest motor they had ever pulled. It will be a learning experience for them. The Dealer wanted nothing of the job.

Would they be able to degree the cams if the block was still in the frame?

I had the same kit installed and the shop tech did not pull the engine out
