Almost done with the motor. All cleaned out and reassembled to the point it can go back in the frame. S&S cam plate and oil pump, AMS HyLift lifters, all new bearings and seals. Other "maintenance" items - replaced a bad exhaust stud and replaced the starter clutch. Oil cooler is soaking in Seafoam.
Last thing to clean is the oil pan. Book says to pull the rear wheel and slide it out the back. Looks like it may come out the front if I can lift the tranny up to clear the mounting lip. Anyone have experience with this? The motor is out so it's pretty easy to get at. It sure would be easier to slide it forward that to go through all the BS to pull the rear wheel and try to find someplace to support the back of the bike while I pull the pan.
The rebuild hasn't been bad. Getting the motor out wasn't fun and I'm sure putting it back in won't be either. Looking forward to being done with this.
