S&S Cam: 590 Cam Install + DYNO! (131ci Stage 4 Harley M8)

When you are done I would like to see a price breakdown of the parts and labor.

[@motobobber1052]

I don't. I don't want to know what my future looks like... Lol.

[@billgonzales8978]

$40,000 bucks?

[@yourenotrelatable]

131ci stage iv kit is 3500 and labor is also 3500 so 7k total.

[@AlchemistFL]

You do, but trust me, you don’t…

[@SHIFTINGSTATE]

That’s a big cam! Don’t worry about trolls or negative comments. Not worth wasting time debating over the internet.

[@awright2009]

Going to put a S&S 465 kit in mine pretty soon I think, but if you guys are heading to Mexico, be careful Tamaulipas isn’t safe, especially roads going to San Fernando. Stick to the toll roads around Monterrey and lay low or you’ll get robbed on the highway with ak-47’s

[@reedcerveny279]

These videos have been hands down some of the best content you have made and the mechanic is a class act.

[@motomortician2633]

I cannot wait for your trip to Mexico with ShadeTree. Both of those bikes are beasts for sure.

[@chrisnunley2399]

I love how you all are doing this in break down mode. Showing us the viewers the steps of making the Goldzilla coming to life. You might have to call it Goldi Beastzilla as it grows into full potential. Love the content keep it coming

[@ecrusch]

My God, I break out my Lab Coat, Shop Cart, and extra towels just to change my oil. Chris is a motorcycle Diety ! And brother Blockhead, you are very cool for filming this process for us.

[@kyles5364]

12:31 I love that quote. Reminds me of the haters I had working in a warehouse in '96. They hated my work ethic. I may not have been the fastest worker. But you can bet I was the most reliable and safest employee on the night shift. I outlasted all the haters. Where they lasted a month tops... I worked at that place for 4 years.

[@dashimoto]

Good stuff Kyle. Ive experienced this too. I was with a team for 5 years and seen so many go in and out. Do it right the first time, and you are golden.

[@jasonbreedlove495]

Digging the build. I recently did a Reaper 465 cam along with S&S oil pump, tappet cuffs, adjustable pushrods and TTS tune in my 17 Streetglide and wow. Amazing what just a cam does to these motors. Thanks for the vids dude, really appreciate the content and the fun factor.

[@BlockheadMoto]

It really is crazy what just a Stage 2 can do for sure! Thanks for watching 👊🏼

This is hella crazy, i followed you before deciding to get my iron883 and then one day when picking up an air filter i fell in love with the FXLRS. Once again there you are with the coolest of all bikes! 🤘😄 your channel is the best!!! I can binge watch your episodes all day!

[@trashpanda7641]

Never been a Harley guy have to say but channel is starting to sway me just a bit have to admit. Keep up the good work.

[@Remymoto]

Yeah, he's such a bad influence, in such a wonderful way.

[@billgonzales8978]

if you can afford a Harley?

[@Remymoto]

@@billgonzales8978 I think the real expense is that HD owners can't seem to stop messing with them. They appear to hold their value pretty well if you don't get stupid, so buying a gently used one is only a slightly poor investment rather than a money sink. The sink would be all the mods you do. You'll get most of your money back on the bike when/if you sell. You probably aren't getting squat for the mods. At best you take them off and restore the bike to factory spec and sell them individually, but in terms of time and energy that's probably not gonna be a great deal.

[@MotoBlonde]

Dude watching your channel is dangerous - now I’m itching to do all this to mine 🤣🤣🤘🏻

[@BaggerBro]

yeeeessssssssssss hahahahahaha DO IT hahahahahaha

[@adammorgan7874]

I really enjoy watching Chris explain what he’s doing and why. Keep up the good work fellas.

[@The_Heathen89]

I'm really liking these build episodes, informative and funny. Nice one dudes. You're almost making me wish I'd got the softail instead of the dyna low rider s.

[@jandrso]

Another awesome video Block. I must say, I was a little worried in the beginning of this video when the cam was shown. I got to thinking of clearance issues with the case interior. Thank goodness there was no case grinding involved. Also love the first crank portion. Not anything at all like my first cranks after closing up a repair or upgrade. Chris is just oozing confidence not worried at all, while I would be having a nervous breakdown anticipating the infinite number of problems with my FXDL refusing to start..... I can’t wait to see the tunes and what’s next for Goldzilla!

[@BlockheadMoto]

“Oozing confidence,” well said! He’s a very methodical tech, master title is much deserved! Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼

[@danshea9754]

This has been a great experience going through the upgrades. I have learned so much so far. I appreciate it man.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks for watching!

[@scottmorgan121]

Well done!!!!

[@petelarrier1811]

I made this comment before based on watching this series back to back. Great information in the video. It’s fun living vicariously through your adventures as well. The one thing that would make this even better is seeing the dyno’s back to back or super imposed on the same graph. So we there are comments of improvement etc it will be visible in the rpm range.

[@theslowride4948]

Block, you speak straight to my jiggly bits. Love your work

[@BlockheadMoto]

Lol, thanks 😂

[@robertbooth1427]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. For me, bikes are always a work in progress. That's part of the fun of them. I love following the 131 project. Awesome 👍

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks for watching!🤘🏼

[@Nobody313]

This process is being amazing to see. Im feel very thankful.

[@Kris_Stiletto]

Adjustable pushrods aren't as strong or dependable as non-adjustable pushrods. If you are building a custom motor, use the adjustables to find the correct size. Then, pull them out and send them to Hammer Performance. They can have custom made, thicker walled, May West tipped, chromemoly pushrods, to fit your application. That's what I do whenever I build a custom motor. Talk to Arron at Hammer. Peace, Stiletto :-)

[@SSCycleInc]

We have hundreds of thousands of adj pushrods in the market that would contradict you!

[@pauldurdan1549]

​@@SSCycleInc no you haven't 😂

[@ajyoung4530]

This last year and a half seems like it’s gone by so fast lol. It’s crazy seeing Chris back at his old shop he worked at for idk how long. Didn’t he say something like 14 yrs? Ow seeing you guys settled into the new ish garage and have tons of work to show that he definitely made a good choice to leave the industry and join the block fam haha. Hope all is well y’all.

[@jb1623]

Solid pushrods are just nice to have, it’s like a reassuring feeling. I’ve used Feulings, but like y’all said, gotta make sure they match the base circle of the cam. Haven’t really seen adjustables cause any issues even on the big motors. Of course when they are set right.

[@billgonzales8978]

i broke pushrods, so i replaced them with Fueuling, great no problems for 5 years.

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Love this vid series, the upgrades and all that goes into the tuning and refining. And a Bagger Bro sighting is cool as well!

[@hreed7742]

I don't even own a Harley (yet....my grandpa has one for me when's he's done riding) and these videos are great.

[@Firestorm637]

Roller rockers are made for racing engines. They are better for racing engine. This is turning into a racing engine which Harley has not built in. What about the lower end or pistons? This engine is becoming less bullet proof vs stock. You are making it more bullet proof for the mods. Enjoying the video!

[@kristopherstewart2614]

When the build is all finished up, I wonder what the hp/ft-lbs would be with the old 2-2? Love the tbr, don't get me wrong but those black pipes were so sick.

Adjustable pushrods are the same as solid pushrods once you lock the night. LOL. I used adjustable on the 585 S&S no problems. Great series!!!

Hey block, will you be releasing the numbers on all the parts you’ve been installing and also the cost for labor? I think many would love that info. Thanks dude and keep doing what you’re doing!

[@uberDoward]

Blockhead! What's it take to get an XLT on the Evo shirt? Hey, for tuning - the Autotune *only* covers AFR. That dip? You'll eliminate that by adjusting timing in that area of the VE graph. Autotune/AFR is only *1/2* the overall tuning experience. In fact, I'd bet you want to bring in a little extra timing in that area, and you'll see that curve come right up!

[@troncoparati]

Great series. That motorcycle is a beast. Enjoy but ride safe.
