Hello Mike. I really enjoy your videos. I have a question for you. I have a 1970 93” strocker shovel head. What Mikuni carb should I put on it. Have a super e on it now. And I’m at 2600 feet elevation where I do most of my riding.

Hello from Sweden on this day with Rain👋. It is always nice to look at your videos. I did look at all 4 of the last videos one after the other 👍👍👍. I must day that Freds panhead is lovely 🤩. I don’t think you are rude to Camera Mike, it only shows that you are good friends 😃. I hope you start it up when it is ready for it. What will be different when you drive it with the new cam? Thank you for the lessons👍. Kjell Blomstrand 🇸🇪

I gotta say Mike, that is the perfect hat to go with them overalls! You gonna have to beat the wimmens off with TWO sticks, one in each hand! :) Classy + rustic = Babe Magnet! Eat your heart out, Camera Man Mike and The Art Department!

Do you prefer the solid lifters or the hydraulic my 57 has the solid inserts to replace the hydraulic and I am wondering, which way I should go in the future

Is it me? I really like the lifter setup on the pan. They are small diameter the evo lifters. I wonder if they are more durable? I’m getting adjustable push rods on my evo’s. As they go through lifters fast and I don’t like taking the rocker box’s off to change them out. Thank you for your video’s love them.

You are one cool dude!

Nice build Mike , Fred's engine appears pristine as is the rest of his ride !

Is the procedure the same on hydraulic pushrods on a shovelhead ? How long does it usually take for them to bleed down ?

You don't get that music with an Evo. Love the start up process, and the color.

Thanks for the video takes my mind off work in the morning 😆

Hey Mike how about attaching your push rod tube holder tool to a rubberized magnet that you could attach to the bottom of the gas tank.

Some where way back of brain I remember using spring loaded clothes pins to hold the push rod tube up. Always enjoy watching your videos, I have learned so much.

Great tip for others to put the bolts back in the item they came from to keep track of them. Love seeing the work in that beauty Panhead Mike.

'You lift me up, when Andrews say you should do, you lift me up, when tulips need to breathe. You are the reason I am put here, you are the hill, beneath my little wheel.' - Maybe Kipling had hydraulic tappets in mind when he wrote M'Andrew's Hymn, - 150 years ago . . . 'Lord, thou hath made this World below . . . the shadow of a dream.' (Beat that for an opening line if you can - a full poem in one bloody sentence! The git had talent. Y'all : )

My Shovelheads I use clothes pins to hold the push rod tubes up. My wife isn't getting them back!😅😂🤣

👍🖖 Out of respect for us that live in Minnesota please close the garage door 😂

Another great series of videos on how to do it right the first time. Long live those Panheads!

Love your videos

Freds ? Bike awesome but I do like no love that mix match pan you did it was quit the pieces parts bike

Mike, I love your videos because you are NOT the (in your face, over theatrical, or the Drama type, or a sensationalist). Your videos are down to Earth with a straight on laid back approach with no garbage included/music & flashy content. A straightforward How To Do video that Orange County Choppers should've had but didn't. It was a horrible bad drama based on the world of custom bikes. And it stunk so badly-it made you physically sick. Thank you sir for doing the Right thing. Best wishes. P.S. I'm a foot peg guy, not a floor board type. Hate those things which scrape badly in turns. I never did understand why H.D. used the small size wheels & tires. The wheels should be at minimum 18". I love the (Tall & Fat rubber also on those 18" rims.) The bike is up and NO parts scraping in the corners. I live where the twisties abound. These bikes will handle with no mods if they're off the ground.

another informative video. everything covered and no questions to answer. keep up the great work Mike!

Does it matter which way the flange is installed with the opened end hole, up or down?

❤

Great video. Thank you, both !! I do agree that PM should be more polite when answering the questions from CM. I think it improves the quality of the videos if CM can ask questions on behalf of all of us. Thanks !!

Mike does awesome camera work! Maybe a second cam in a fixed spot?

Great video again. I've done this drill so many times, and your video really illustrates how important it is to keep the push rod covers up out of the way. I skip that step too often and end up fumbling around wasting time. Can't wait for the next video to hear this baby idle with the AB cam in it. Changed out a cam in a shovel motor just recently and the new cam gear was sketchy. When I checked the sliding fit against the pinion gear, it got really tight in the same spot every other rotation, so it wasn't pinion shaft runout. The cam gear may be off center with the shaft, or a couple of teeth not quite right, or whatever. So I used my bottle jack press to swap gears with the old cam, and now all is copacetic. I always spin the motor and check stuff after every step, and this time it paid off.

Love your videos old son

The master❤😁🇺🇸

Mike, the paint on that bike looks really nice. I don't suppose that's original paint so I must say that who ever painted that bike did a beautiful job. Great video, thanks Mike(s).

Always love stopping by the garage and just hang out, have a blessed week my friends

🤙 How’s L.C. Doing

1980 80 cube s

Can you please help me get my shovel running

Excellent Video again. Thanks Mike & Mike

Mike. I have 63 pan with the Super Maxx primary what’s the best way to deal with oil breather I tried to cap it with K&N oil breather filter. It didn’t work oil still gets in the primary and on the engine and transmission. I tried to convert the breather to oil the final drive chain it almost work I just put 2000 miles on I’m doing the maintenance on it I decided to turn the breather up to 90 degrees and put some soft insulation and run it out back somewhere.

Mike, can you please respond to my e mail with the question about the UL cylinder linings? Sorry for asking you this way, don't know how else to reach you...thanks.

Just about to start an Evo stroker build, so glad i find this series!

sweet bike!!!

Hey Mike, what were the other things you checked out, besides breather gear freeplay, before you went back together. Just curious, cuz i am a novice harley owner. Both bikes are evo's, 1987 & 1996. Thanks for any direction.

if it was a flat tappet cam there would be a break in period but not with roller lifters.

There's no break in needed for roller lifters. Same goes for automotive cams. The break in process is for any non roller lifter style cam to allow to cam and lifters a chance to wear together. Roller lifters have nothing to wear in due to the roller of the lifters constantly rolling.

Make that one tire fire. Mike.

Cam break in is for flat tappet cams. Roller cams don't normally require a break in.

Always learn something from each visit.....even if some goes over my head 😊

I bet the owner will be happy with the results.

Looking forward to seeing your bike build, Mike!

Great video! My 92 bottom breather blows oil. I bet my breather shim is incorrect. I just bought the bike a few months ago. I think my Andrews N8 cams on my Sportster is 490 intake lift and 500 exhaust. When I let off the throttle it’s scavenging. Get on the throttle. No hesitation. I’m looking forward to installing an Andrews Ev27 cam on my big Evo. See if I can do it? 😊

The father of mine gave me a card to spend some money. Young as I was, freedom was my utmost only thing I dreamed of. I bought myself a bike
