cam change
« on: September 27, 2012, 08:08:25 PM »
Ok so I am getting ready to change my cams in my 2013 CVO ultra with 1500 miles on it. After reading this http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=77186.0 im thinking do I need to change my cam bearings? Sounds like it comes with the upgraded bearings. Whats your thought?

Harley claims the CVO engines already come with upgraded cam bearings for 2013.  A visual inspection during the cam change should verify that, and if you already have the upgraded bearings I can't imagine why you would need to change them.

Just recieved a replacement set of engine cases from the Moco, for a 110"er.
(prior shop fubared the build)
They came thru with full roller cam bearings, surprising, and refreshing. :2vrolijk_21:

While you don't have to its low to negligible miles, but personally I would just to get the C lifters out of there.  Had they been the predecessor "B" I would have no issue leaving them.   To me its cheap insurance going with the S&S lifters and the path is already cleared while your doing the cam.

He's talking cam bearings, Harry... 

Don't know if he's planning on new lifters for his new cams or not...

Really I didnt realize that lifters went up and down  .. thank goodness for the all the knowledge on this site.     .       

Yep I think thats what I typed, yep it was Lifters, the guy is changing cams might be something he wants to consider over the C versions that are in there.   Who knows maybe he has no idea and it was actually something he or someone else might not have known to consider doing.      :nixweiss:

On the other hand, if you were determined to replace ALL the parts Harley installs that are substandard junk, you would be a very busy (and poor) person.  I was trying to remember the last time I bought a car and had to immediately replace a bunch of substandard parts, and after thinking all the way back to 1969 I couldn't remember a single one.  And not a single one of the new cars I bought from 1972 to present ever had a major failure of any kind.  Hmmmmmmmmmm? 

Assuming a couple hundred more bucks won't break the bank, a better set of lifters might not be a bad idea while you're in there.  But be careful what you consider to be a better set of lifters.  There is a  lot of hype out there, and lots of other brands besides Harley have also had failures.  Screamin' Eagle, Jim's, Fueling, etc. have all had plenty of bad press, so it's not just the stock Harley crap.
