The massive Bolts in the heads would have originally been the breather bolts for venting oil from the heads back into the air filter housing.

Two-piece cover hypothesis… One cylinder cover clears the frame by mere millimetres. To get them off you need to lift them but there isn’t any room.

[@dirtygarageguy]

As stated before and in the video, this is stupid, but more on that in the next video

[@charlie_sin_mag]

HD wanted a low seat so the frame had to be close to the heads to achieve that. The two piece design is so you can slide each one out from under the frame. There wouldn't be enough space to lift it out over the rocker arms unless the frame was higher and HD wanted a low seat.

This video literally confirms every suspicion we ever had about the agricultural nature of Harley engines, the positively medieval manufacturing techniques and Stone Age primitive build quality. If we were told that was an Eastern European ripoff from the 1950s Soviet era, we could easily believe it. But it’s actually a 2003! Truly embarrassing for any American. The first time I removed the valve covers from my Marysville built 1983 VF750F Interceptor, I was greeted by a thing of beauty. And remember, according to its initially deserved ‘chocolate cam’ reputation, this could not exactly be considered an engineering masterpiece. The cam bearings are possibly the worst design ever attempted by Honda or any Japanese maker. But compared with that thing, it’s from a different planet. And the bearing design wasn’t really the issue. Everything else is simply very well designed and engineered. And if I ever saw score marks like that in a cylinder bore, I would assume the engine had been built from the scrap bin! Simply horrendous. Yet this fool is impressed…? There’s no hope.

I'm only 14 minutes in, there are so many reinforcements to your comments, and points I could clarify that it would take me an hour to type them all up. The Buell XB that I own is very similar to the Sportster engine that I can give a lot of insight into this job. I will start with your first comments, if you are going to change the bore and modify the heads, the only parts you care about are the crank and rods. Cylinders, pistons, maybe even the heads (stock heads suck. Buell heads better), all in the bin. I think this is a 4 cam engine, limits your choices to basically Red Shift brand, might be a few other things like Screamin Chicken (Eagle) from the dealer, but third party will be way better and likely cheaper. I did a big bore on my Buell because the bone head that owned it before me managed to score the cylinders really badly in a short amount of miles. Stock cost $X, big bore cost $X+ just a little more. Sent the heads to be serviced and new valves installed because I don't own a seat cutter and some of the guides were in poor shape, was just better to let an experienced shop do that part. Also none of the wiring harness had to be cut away from the frame, the engine comes out just fine with that stuff in place. You do need some special tools if you plan to take the rocker covers and rocker boxes off while in the frame, but if the entire motor is coming out, you pretty much unbolt it and pull it out. Also, most of these fasteners should be imperial, that's why he had the snazzy new hex wrenches he had to keep showing off to advertise the free tools he just got. Sorry Del, Wiha won't have those Harley specific tools you are going to need to do some things correctly, and you do not want to buy those from the stealership.

And, when he mentions the honing marks (cross hatching) as machining marks from factory, I better throw my hone away then, I'm obviously not supposed to use it lol, I'm sure it's so the oil will follow the cross hatchings rather than just flowing down a smooth barrel (yes, barrel, not jug, not pot, it's a fucking barrel) and then you get full oil coverage all the way round, rather than just in one spot.
