If you have the cams out already, replace the inner cam bearings with the B168's.

Also, the cam bolts are a one use item.
25566-06     CAM DRIVE SPROCKET RETENTION KIT w/ 6294 & screws | PZ     $5.59


An analgy would be using a new inner tube in a new tire on a heavy bike with spokes.
A new set of tires on your car, gets new valve stems.

If you don't have the cam bearing  removal/replacement tools you can borrow mine.

Thanks for all the help from you all

I've now ordered up the B168 cam bearings should arrive in the next few days, I'm still waiting for the S&S lifters from your side of the pond tracking says they are now with Global international.

Aren't you glad you've got a garage now  !

Too right there Don, and it also has electricity in it

Today it's pissing down rain, the lifters came three days earlier than expected, I'm well impressed 

I'm starting today to put it back together. I'll also be modifying the crankcase pressure tube's. When I was checking things over I found behind the intake butterfly there was black dirty oil coating the inner walls of the intake.
Thought l'll make a little tube canister filter/breather and connect the rocker box breathers to it then l  can service it to  keep  check when it's time to change the upper rocker box breathers by how oily it's getting. Then I'll fit it to the detection plate just aft of the oil cooler. Just a thought to see if that will work.
Now that I have a garage

It's great you're having fun with with the bike and having fun with a place to do it. I'll keep looking forward to progress as you button things up. Has the garage gotten any interior decoration yet?

Did you recenter your oil pump?  I did this on mine and picked up +4psi pressure across the band.  I was actually a bit shocked.  I don't know for sure it was the centering but the Harley manual said to do it this way.

News to me .  Not sure what you mean "recenter"
 
I didn't look for anything on the oil pump, didn't think I'd ​needed to. All I did was pull the cam body to access the bearings. I put it back in the same figuration it came out (didn't move anything)

I did see a bit about being sure that the large and small flats on the oil pump meet up with the large and small flats on the crankshaft pinion, but didn't really pay it much mind and didn't read any further as I  hadn't touched the pump or moved it or the motor. It all slid in as smooth as it slid out.

Does this recentering apply only when there has been oil pump dismantle?

It'll be ready for start up tomorrow but if I missed something about the oil pump that I should have done I'll pull it back out.
They'll be some eggs boiling if I missed something.

Ssls6  threw me for a bit of a loop.

I felt pretty good that I put it back together alright
Finished up the tail end of things this morning. Crancked the motor over a few times with out the plugs in to get some oil pumped around.
I put the plugs back turned the ignition hit the starter. Wham! It fired up straight away, sounds great!

A big " THANKS" TO YOU ALL FOR THE HELP
