I was taught when installing heads to set them on, then run the head bolts in hand tight so the heads can still move freely. Then install the intake manifold first, before torquing the heads down. Use the intake manifold to square up the heads to the manifold, then torque the heads. Just how I was taught. Been doing it that way for forty years. Seems to work well for me.

Thanks Gary, there is a dyno locally, but as with all new engine builds, I'd want to run it in for 500 miles first and bed everything down, then change the oil, also any carb adjustments along the way to get the plugs cooking exactly the right colour and then it could be a go-er!

I can't help but share that while watching you put the top end together after the head was on, it felt like watching someone assemble a double cheeseburger LOL. I'm probably going to offend some by saying that but it isn't a personal attack, just what I felt was a humorous perspective. I admit that I'm new to the American v-twin's inner workings so what might seem conventional to some might be awkward to people like me. I've only worked on inline 4s and more recently the Honda V4. The carb re-fit will be interesting to watch as well. Thanks Del.

do you use 883 cylinder heads with 1200 cylinder kit? combustion chamber on the 883 heads are 49cc. on the 1200 heads - 62cc. Compression ratio on the 883 heads will be 12,1, on the 1200 - 9,67. Maybe 12,1 is too much? i think better to use 1200 cylinder heads, so valves diameter on the 1200 heads is bigger

Dell, a question for you (you may have covered this but I missed it) If you have increased the capacity, and the stroke is unchanged (which I think it is) the bore must be bigger. However, you are still using the standard heads. Surely (don't call me Shirley!) there is now a difference in diameter between the bore and the head - the head has to be smaller. Isn't this going to affect the efficiency of combustion?

Can i remove the jugs and pistons from a 2019 1200 engine i have and slip them in my 2002 883? I would install new rings and use the 883 heads. No one has told me if this is doable.

Heads up if you're using cometic gaskets they don't use the 1/4 turn method. Their final torque is 42 ft lbs.

Thanks John, that was my understanding too, plenty of scope on the cv, just need a bigger main jet and lift the needle a tad, but the Dynajet kit I've got comes with an upgraded lightweight slide for quicker throttle response! And thanks for asking how I am, almost a year on, I'm feeling a lot better these days.

ok, may be a dumb question, may not.... BUT.. Why keep the spark plugs in?
@Moonfleet41
@Moonfleet41 2 жыл бұрын
Cheers buddy, the plugs are purely in there for my peace of mind so as not to drop anything down the holes, and although it sounds unlikely, imagine a small nut or washer whilst assembling all the engine mounts etc., slips out your fingers and drops down in to the cylinder... so an old plug is better than a wedge of cloth which can easily be sucked in the hole when you turn the engine over by hand for some other reason and then you've got to fish that out somehow!! I'll be popping a new set in shortly, they're just there for peace of mind.

Hi Del, it looked like you missed the rubber mushrooms just under the top cover that go in the oil passages. This is not a criticism. Other than that good job.

Yeah, i made a judgement call on those. apparently not available and on untimed back order, they couldn't give me a date for delivery, could have waited weeks. if they're a problem it's dead easy to pop the lids off and pop some new ones in later... Cheers mate.
