Hit a stump on this project today.  Had been out of town for several days accomplishing absolutely nothing with people I didn't like and bored out of my mind.  Were it not for net access I'd have been looking to blow something up.  Anyway....

Still bored and felt like accomplishing something.  Or at least gaining information.  So tore down the SERK's motor.   :oops:

Even though the bike had been stored under a tarp in an open barn for most of a year after its accident it was still easy to tell the previous owner had taken marginal care of it.  Unwrecked paint was ok, general cosmetics ok, but it had been ridden hard and put away wet.  Found some problems in the engine.

Had been run for at least awhile with a bad inner cam bearing and a bad lifter.  Right engine case is damaged.  Oh well, wasn't in any great hurry anyway.  Now may have to research more the S&S 4.125" bore cases and think about a stock throw 107".  Bike's budget may end up becoming mildly FUBAR.

My Candy Brandy had a bad inner cam bearing also. The original owner did the HD Reman. Were the inner cam bearings an issue with this motor?

By 2002 not generally.  1999 and part of the 2000 model year had inner cam bearing issues.  The Torrington style bearings are still an improvement even over the "good" stock bearings so there was gain to be found.  But by 2002 these bearings weren't the issue they had been with the early release Twin Cam motors.  We're just lucky with ours....

Now have to decide whether to order stock cases or start watching eBay for the occasional relative bargain on the S&S cases.  Stock replacement cases won't be machined for the Timken bearing in the case.  So gaining that machining and starting out with the bigger bore does in some ways justify the greater expense of the S&S cases.  Decisions decisions decisions.....

This engine was going to get that.  It's nice to know the engine is cooperating in enforcing that decision.

As a purely prophylactic maintenance item 50K and a rainy Saturday are how often I plan on changing inner cam bearings and lifters on all mine.  They're cheap enough and their failure is potentially catastrophic enough it's really not worth not doing twice every 100,000 miles.
