Hope you had a great 4th , I road on the 4 and 5 everything was great went out today my engine puking oil out till it went bone dry in under 8 miles I trailered it home , Im thinking of going back to stock lol going to check my oil pump I had 40 psi so its pumping out oil , but is my breather or scavenger goofing up S&S reed breather and a high flow pump . fit to be tied 300 plus miles since i did the cam and lifters . had zero leak down and 195 compression on both jugs .

Hi JC, they cancelled the 4th festivities here do to heat. It's been over a 100 for 3 weeks straight now and getting hotter each day. This has never happened before. So no riding for me. Man your having a time with that engine. The only thing I can think of is 1 of the umbrella valves is bad or you have a clogged return. May have had a piece of metal floating around in there from you're cam bushing going out and it's lodged somewhere.

@@tinkeringwithharleys For 300 miles everything was great it run like a champ , I check the oil Cold before I ride then when I get home hot and its been fine right on the dipstick lines , did it today my pan was full got 8 miles and stop I seen oil on my bag and leg the pan was bone dry . in 8 miles . I do not think its the pump it was showing 20 PSI if it was sumping you think it do it each time i went out . not wait and hit miss ? by not scavenging . Im tearing it down pull the pump look it over I do not think its that . then the rockers to look up top umbrellas . im stumped unless the pump is failing then working and failing then working . it started puking with the S&S reed valve i took it as a norm on hot days .

@@JCcanU I had one about 2 years ago doing the same thing. I didn't do the original work on it and it was a TC. It had previously had a chain tensioner come apart. Was taken apart and cleaned out by someone else and put back together. Ran great for about a month than started puking oil. I dug into it and some pieces of the tensioner plugging the oil vent line and some small pieces in the return in the rear head. Cleaned everything out. It solved the problem. Good luck with this brother.

@@tinkeringwithharleys A bushing pin on the Cam cover got in the oil pump broke the scavenger gears all the pieces are accounted for

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

@@JCcanU great so you found it and got all the pieces. Glad it wasn't more involved. 👍

What brand puller? If you said, I missed it. 😂

[@tinkeringwithharleys]

I think it is a Jim's puller, I've had it about 40 years. Thanks for watching and ride safe
