Harley Davidson Milwaukee 8 Oil Pump Revision | Removal and Checking Crank Run-out

[@wooddawg4868]

Yes sir. After I got 19k on my bike I did a total S&S cam chest upgrade with the latest oil pump hotter cam, lifters, and everything. The bike was a 2017 and I plan on keeping it for a while, no reason to upgrade a bike I can upgrade cheaper than buying a new bike.

[@leetyler4122]

Did same!

[@Jim_Berry]

You don’t have to turn on the ignition to check the mileage. Just press the toggle on the left switch pack.

Where’s the update on the oil pump video

[@ncautolink]

Very good information! I’ve done a few oil pumps and cams myself by watching videos on KZbin!

[@KenMrKLC]

Nice!

[@slelliott14]

HD should be providing pumps and install!

[@toolmanjdrr637]

Did you make a video of the install

[@freebehindbars8654]

I have the same bike, had the oil light coming on from the sumping issue at 3k miles. Just put the 2020 HD pump on.

[@KenMrKLC]

Nice, that should solve it .... has been great so far.... at least 500 miles on it since

[@freebehindbars8654]

@@KenMrKLC Good to hear. Hopefully there’s no more HD engineering gremlins waiting. I have a few bikes that I beat the shit out of, this is the only one I’ve needed repairs on this year.

[@markboevers3131]

I've seen No re-installation videos of the pump upgrade without pulling the push rods off. Am I missing something?

[@MBGAdventures]

First again. Love the bike. One day buddy we will ride together. Good I idea with the new oil pump. Nice work, great video Ken!

[@KenMrKLC]

For sure Mike….. curious what distance we have between us. I have a cousin who lives on the border in US side….. I’ll map it sometime

[@KenMrKLC]

Brandon from Berndt Lawn Care came and visited my shop. Not sure if you are sub to him.

[@MBGAdventures]

@@KenMrKLC I am about an hour 20 minutes from Buffalo

[@MBGAdventures]

@@KenMrKLC Is the KZbin name Berndt’s Lawn Care & Mower Repair? If so, I just did subscribe. Thanks Ken!

[@richardrussell500]

It is also recommended to remove the case sump plug and reinstall a shorter plug. The stock plug is too long and blocks proper flow, which can cause sumping.

[@Godlivesinme2013]

HELP I was watching this video to replace my m8 oil pump. Now im not sure if my valves are in the correct location. Is there a way to tell where the valve cam is rotated without pulling the rocker covers? Help!

[@cayceharper517]

I think I’m having sumping/scavenging issues and want to change my pump out. I don’t want to cut the pushrods as I already have a big bore and cam that was installed by an independent. What mic are you using in the video to check runout. I was told that Fueling has the only tool to check runout and requires taking everything out including the cam.

[@mrnonpc9885]

IMO the cam plate is fine. I have a 2017 parts book, and checked its part number on Harley’s OEM parts finder and that plate has never been updated. I see it’s still being used on 2023 bikes. I have a 2017 too, and was looking at a pump upgrade. I don’t want to waste money where I don’t need to, and I haven’t found any complaints about the 2020 oil pump or cam plate. Sure S&S would like to convince you to upgrade, but from I’ve heard unless you’re building a motor bigger than a 117 there’s really no need. Last point put your bike in transport mode before working on it. Your flashers were going off while you were filming.

[@KenMrKLC]

I agree, and great point about transport mode

[@John-yf6iw]

Fp3 will not work with stage 2 468 cam upgrade you will need it a real tune to get the bike to run correctly tts tuner is a good option.

[@Marksmisfitworld]

Good video. How do you like that Harbor Freight jack? I have been trying to decide which one to get, that one or the $100 red one

[@KenMrKLC]

Hands down drop the extra! I was going to buy the cheap one too until I jacked it up and saw the difference in stability…. This jack is AWESOME….. it lifts high enough to feel like you have a bike lift table. Couldn’t be happier

[@Marksmisfitworld]

@@KenMrKLC thank you, I was leaning towards that jack.

[@ericksoncraig2519]

Your turning the motor over with the cam still in the motor which is holding. Some of the valves in a fully or partially opened position. You may have just hit those valves with your pistons. You have to at least remove the pushrods.

[@lawtondevil]

It looks like it’s dropping back below zero that’s where you need to zero it out.

[@jwenga]

Or calculate total distance between the high and low.

[@carlbruhn1772]

Well done 👍

[@richardrussell500]

Good video... :-)

[@o0Hotiron0o]

Thank you ;)

[@A-37Bdragonfly]

Why HD owners always working on their motorcycles? 😂😂😂😂

[@jamessmoth8683]

Because the dealer charges WAY to much

[@andrewkuhn5999]

You spend too much time talking about future plans and not explaining what you are doing... and the camera is WAY too far away in most of your video

[@KenMrKLC]

I appreciate the constructive criticism
