I bought my 07 last year in september from a guy who got it from a guy so all I know about it is it is stock other than holes drilled in the mufflers and someone put on lots of miles on it. I am currently working on doing the valve lash but getting there both breather hoses leaked alot. The rear was split open and someone put electrical tape around it. Here is a pic of the top of the engine.
I was figuring on rotating the crankshaft with a 36mm impact socket I have for doing wheel bearings but the socket wall is too thick. Do you guys use the H-D tool to turn the engine over or is there something else I could use?
The valve cover bolts have some corrosion on them and there is corrosion in the holes. Should I put some never sieze on the bolts when I put it back together?
I used seafoam spray to clean the gunk is there any tool other than the hd crankshaft tool that you can use?
