Thanks Dawg! I was hoping I got the right combination.

Tank,
There's a gentelman right up the road from you that's super sharp on  V twins, That's Lloyd at V-Twin Solutions 214-763-5748.. Give him a shout....Greg

What's the story on Lloyd and where is he located?

Thanks.

Update - need update! 

So - what is up with the scooter and your engine?  I need to know

Thanks.

Tank,

He's right there in Allen , off of Exchange... He's  a Jim's & S&S Dealer that's  been in the game for 30+ Years... Greg

Thanks Greg! I'll have to check him out after I get my bike back.

Presently, I'm waiting for Texoma H-D to put the new motor in my bike and get the S&S 570G installed. I went with the S&S 570 for more TQ and the gear drive cams with the Torrington cam bearings so hopefully I won't have anymore problems with them. The stock INA cam bearings really suck! I had the cam shoes, chain, & everything checked two months before it cratered on me. Looks like the metal cage that holds the bearings in place failed and the bearings came out and destroyed everything from the oil pump to the crank angle sensor.. It's amazing what a few bearings running loose in your engine will do..

So for now, I'm still waiting to break-in another new motor and get it dyno'd again. Thinking maybe I will go to Dean in McKinney for the dyno tune or maybe someone can turn me on to someone else, maybe Lloyd handles that also..

Anyone have other suggestions for me? (be nice now.. )

Where would you purchase the bearing?  THanks

Another newbie question, does the Fueling cam back plate fix the cam bearing issue?  Inquiring minds would like to know.

The new Torrington cam bearings are part of the S&S 570G kit. I can't speak on the Fueling cam back plate.

the torrington inner bearings fix the problem. if you are going gear drive, you will run two front outer bearings---curing another problem. a screamin eagle cam plate includes the 07 style pump, curing another problem.

The cams are supported at both ends. The inner ends use replaceable needle bearings. The best of the are by Torrington. The outer ends are supported by the camplate. This is either done by using holes bored the aluminum plate to act as the "bearing" surface, or some have bronze sleeves in the aluminum for the cams to rotate in. The earlier Feulings had the bronze sleeves. The newer one use the plain aluminum. In normal operation, with adequate lubrication, there is no issue with either design. If something happens (lack of lubrication, excessive crank runout causing failure, etc), you might be able to savage the sleeved plate by replacing the sleeves. At that point, you have so many other problems, I wouldn't hesitate to replace the camplate anyway. So this is a non-factor to me.

This has nothing to do whatsoever with the type of tensioner system used. The older style tensioners are still an issue. Probably the biggest one in the twin-cam design. The newer hydraulic tensioner system seems to be much better. Then there's the best, gear drive, which you can only convert to if you have excellent measured crank runout.

Hoist!
