My questions is, with one engines being considered revamped and a new design, are the issues that are talked about; lifter failure, excessive crank runout, marbles and ticking sound, excessive heat and all the other stuff that I've heard so much about in the last 7 years; are the 110 better now? This is MoCo's 8th year running with a 110 in their CVO motorcycles, you would think it would be a perfected piece of machinery by now. I know time will tell and some of the engine builders and other engine enthusiast need to spend some time with these 2 designs to determine what's what.
I'm also sure there will be some technical bulletin released soon that gives more specifics about the changes but if anyone has information to prove or disprove the 2014 110 engines are better or more of the same, I would like to hear it.
Quote from information I gleaned from the 2014 CVO Limited:
"As part of Project RushMore for 2014, the CVO Limited has been redesigned from the ground up for more comfort, more power, better braking and handling and more classic style. The iconic batwing H-D fairing has been totally redesigned to reduce head buffeting. This bike is powered by a new Harley® High Output Twin Cam 110 Engine with Screamin’ Eagle badges. The new high-output Twin Cam 110 engine with Screamin' Eagle badges provides 110 cubic inches of power, a low cruising rpm, more low end torque, more passing power, along with silky smooth shifting of its 6-speed cruise drive transmission."
