Ok here is the latest

Checked crank and it moves smoothly and has less than 4,000 run out.

One cam lobe is worn a lot more than the others and one lifter has some pitting on it. Very little metal flakes running around, almost so little as to say there is none!

Decided to replace the cam plate (S&S), tensioners(even tho they look like new) S&S premium lifters and S&S cam bearings. Going back with HD 255 cams, I need a part number for them so I can order them from Surdyke.com!
Top end all looks great so leaving that alone.
Oil pump looks great so leaving that alone.
Going to replace the inner primary bearing as well since we are right there. Comp looks great as well.

I think that is everything!

Also have to contact Steve at Fulsac, my pipe is cracked and the rear bracket broke as well.

Sounds great!  I may have missed this but what was making the noise you and the dealer heard?

The engine had a very loud chirping noise, like a next of baby robins chirping away through a 200 watt megaphone! Through this forum I learned that the lifters will make that noise right before they totally fail!

If you are replacing the Primary bearing best to use the Baker one. You can talk to Jim hddude about this. Mine was done way back on my 07 CVO and still no issues.

The primary bearing appears to be good but since we are right there already we thought now was the time to change it out
