The fun began today.
I pulled all the stuff so the my Budd's Bill & Pete could assist me in removing the engine from the frame, mounting the stand bracket and hoisting the 240 some pounds into the engine stand.
The oil came out nice & clean, no scary bearing materials, a tiny bit of steel frags on the plug magnet, probably gear material from the Tranny.
Intake valve as seen through the intake ports look OK.
Some of the things going into the project, new second gear, shifter fork, hardened shaft, etc.....
Next weekend, or possibly the following the full disassembly starts on the engine.
Still waiting on Chicago HD to ship my part orders, one is 3+ months old the other about 6 weeks. Come guy's let's get on the STICK :soapbox: you've had my money all this time and I've done paid the credit card bills, yet NO PARTS.:spank:
