Title: Andrews 57 High Comp Piston combo
Post by: TZG15FLHXSE on April 10, 2017, 12:26:58 PM
Hello everyone. So I have an Andrews 57 on order for my 2015 FLHXSE. Since I'm opening her up I'm thinking of replacing the pistons with the SE10.5:1.

Bigboyz puts the combo at 10.97:1 static corrected to 10.19:1 with CCC at 216.9 stock head gasket.

Or leave the pistons and replace the head gasket with Cometic .30 which makes static 9.97:1 corrected to 9.27:1 with
CCC 192.3

Labor isn't a factor I'm doing the work. Tuned with SE Pro Tuner, Rush true duals with 2" Big Louie slip-ons.

Imo, your engine will have some PMS issues with the higher compression pistons. >:(
I would clip the heads .010", use .030" head gaskets, and call it a day.

Nope I tried the 57 cam and wasn't happy with the performance. I pulled it out put the SE 259 cam and 10.5:1 pistons. Huge improvement just as I was accustomed with my 103. After 6 months I installed the 58mm TB and red band injectors. Wow even more power and the throttle response is instant and scary! Feels like a sport bike on the straight away. I'm tuning it with my SE Pro tuner. I've only done 2 runs so I have a lot more left to pull out of her.
