Hoist, thanks for the info.  I spoke to Zippers a few minutes ago regarding ordering the 575 gear cam and tapered adj. pushrods, and discussed pinion runout.  HD motor co limits runout is .012.  Zippers recommends 2.5.  There are a couple of options, sending my crank out (if runout is excessive), or purchasing an S&S crank (not sure of other options). From what I have gathered, installing the Timken wont fix the runout issue, only strengthen it after runout is corrected.  Anyone have any experience or comments in this area?  I am going to have the cam shoes and pinion runout checked (Old Glory HD) and go from there.  Thanks!

That is correct.  Installing the Timken bearings will not fix the runout issue.  It is just a stronger application.  Correcting the runout is unrelated.  One other point - the runout requirement for gear driven cams is far more important then with chain driven cams.  There is no forgiveness with gear to gear running clearance of gear driven cams.  The crank runout has to be correct  (no more than .002 - but preferably at .001 or less) when running gear drive cams.

Hoist, whats the big deal about gettin new cases with the same S/N considering all the work you have done 

just wondering, because when my warrantee is up and I have exhausted my 103, I was planning on swapin it out with a new 127 billet R&R and be done

Check out your State requirements. In some States when you replace the entire motor with a crate motor you have to register it as a custom build as opposed to a HD. This could devalue your bike.

Hmmm... great point that could be one big reason one would keep the original S/N cases, but personally I think if I was going to that level of modification & power, I would want the strength of the billet cases and Timken bearing, screw the authenticity & value issue
