Update... After all the testing and etc the MOCO is sending a new motor.

Porosity in the cylinder heads?  Can't imagine what else could cause the MOCO to replace the motor...   

[grc]

When he said there were no external leaks found but it was definitely losing pressure and fluid, I assumed it had to be getting into the combustion chamber some how.  This is the first time I've heard of this particular problem.  I'm somewhat amazed they would replace the engine, even though that would be the proper thing to do if he has had coolant leaking into the combustion chamber and cylinders/crankcase.  Much worse things have occurred to others and H-D refused to replace engines and authorized dealer part replacements instead.

The new motor came in and when the dealer opened the create it was a 110 motor but its for a softail.
My motor went to the dealer who was waiting on the motor my dealer received.
The worst of this problem is my motor went to Colorado and their motor came to Pennsylvania.
The label on the box was right but the motor was wrong.
WTF people can't even ship the right parts to the right place.
So now i sit waiting for the MOCO to figure who F##ked this up.
Rather then riding my bike this weekend.

So sorry for your troubles and hope it all works our soon.

I'm guessing the motor Company wants the engine shipped back immediately for them to examine as they did with my five 110 engines back in 2007.

My update... After putting 600 miles on the last fix, I was coming home from work and felt the bike heating up, when I got home I found that the reservoir was empty. So i sent Harley a certified letter informing them that they have one last chance to fix the bike as per NJ lemon law. The dealer now has the bike and I'm waiting on updates from them..... I did get the dealer to give me a trike as a loaner lol

Ugh.....

Harley told the dealer to use TT430 to check the bike over. Does anyone know where to find TT430?

Motor is in and installed in the bike. The dealer wants to put some miles on the the bike to make sure everything is good.
I should have the bike back this weekend.
Hopefully I will have many trouble free miles.
I will keep everyone posted as I put some miles on the bike.

I got the bike back last Sunday and they told me that they did not find any problems.  it was another CND.

Sadunbar, thanks for the TT430!

Bike is running good. Put 900 miles on the new motor and the dealer changed the oil today.
Tech said everything looks good.
Waiting to hear back from the MOCO to see what they find with the old motor.
When i hear any info i will let you guys know what they find.

[06fatdaddy]

Well i finally heard back about my old motor. They are saying its Porosity in the cylinder heads.
Glad the MOCO took care of this.

I filed my lemon law application, now i'm waiting for harley to come back with their reply. After the last attempt (4th time) to fix the bike and nothing was found, the service manager marked the coolant level on the reservoir prior to giving the bike back to me. After 600 mile, the coolant level has gone down. No leakage found on the bike.
