what makes them think that the center bolt would fix the problem???
 "if" it was leaking from near the front of the rear cylinder then maybe....and that a long shot at best..


so what's your next move?

Dealer picking up tomorrow AM will take the motor apart and send pictures to the factory?   I mentioned your leaking/weeping and
what your dealer and the factory are doing to correct this. Will post more as I get the info.

I called HD and told them my story.
the dealer had suggested maybe changing cases next, I let them know that I was not happy with them "changing cases" and I told HD the same thing.
I told them that I wanted a new motor.
the dealer never took my motor apart to take pictures, they will not be able to tell anything from pictures!  lol

I guess the factory did not need pictures, the factory is shipping a new 110B engine today to the dealer.
Asked if it had the 2009 enhancements and the service advisor said "YES".
Will post more after I get it.

I know when I got the phone call from the dealer, I thought "what now?? More bad news???"

But all they had was GOOD NEWS finally after all of the BS they have been giving us.

I now know how you felt when you got your phone call!

Yes, I am very happy, The original engine was in the shop weekly, six different times for oil weeping/leaking.

Blown head gaskets even before the recall was announced on the old engine.

I will update this as I put the miles on.

as much as i love my 07 springer if i`d had as much motor probs as you have had it would no longer be in my fleet.
i`m pi$$ed that the motor has been stripped just twice

Picked up the 2007 FXSTSSE today with the BRAND NEW 2009 ENGINE!!!!!

Rode it 400 miles today breaking it in. It seems to be more powerful than my old original engine, but I have to be real carefull

for another 100 miles, then will take it back to the dealers to get the break-in oil out of there.

It sure is nice after a ride not to have oil all over the place.

good news! nice shine, think I like the silver powder coat over the darker granite (not as noticable if it peels off  ).

Had to do some work on the cage yesterday but took the long way to the parts house on the bike, nice day, lots of bikes, ride too short but got the cage fixed. Hope this fixes it!
 

I have the darker granite on my other Screamin Eagle (2008 Dyna) and it seems to be holding up. I like them both as being just
a little different when viewed side by side. I better get a picture of them both and post?

I will .............  after the breakin miles today.

I have a 2007 springer cvo, red. Love it but it leaked 6 times after HD doing gaskets, etc at 5k miles. They finally gave me a new 09 motor (used my original chrome though), but after 500 miles, it's fine. Problem is I have V&H big radius pipes, it it back fired like crazy. They won't dyno it since it was not done at dealer....don't look a gift horse.........
