We got back from Wichita about 9:00pm last night. Got most everything done, but ran into a problem, a couple of them. First, when going in with the Screamin Eagle adjustable push rods (POS), machining on one of the intake push rods wasn't up to par and it wouldn't tighten down, of course we took the stock pushrods out with bolt cutters. Luckly, Drew had a set of stock pushrods out of another bike and pulled the tank and rocker boxes and installed them. #2, the bike has been sitting for a month, he goes to start it and the battery is hammer dead and no charger at the house, it's 4:00pm Sunday, we load her up and come on home and it hasn't been started yet. Will get the bettery charged, checked and replaced if need be today, so the jury is still out, but will be in this afternoon.
As for the condition of the parts, I'll post pics. The inside tensioner was is much better shape than the outer. Slight scoring on the oil pump and most of the tensoiner pieces were laying in there and didn't get sucked up into oil tank and lines, so that's a good thing!
