Brilliant video! Thank you so much for posting, you have chronicled a lost art for posterity. Bravo!

[@thang3368]

thanks for the videos, its great video.

[@tv1000s]

thanks for the videos . watching your videos gave me the guts to work on my Harley .

[@vonklock6807]

I just finished my first Flathead 45 rebuild. Solely inspired by watching your videos. The only issue I had was i couldn’t get the engine to make any oil pressure. I had a brand new V-Twin oil pump installed, bought a 2nd pump and tried that. Still no oil pressure. Bolted on a used OEM pump and she had oil pressure!! Very frustrating. But thanks for your videos!!!

[@TatroMachine]

that just goes to show you the quality of parts out there. the new stuff looks the part but fails on getting the job done. that is why i always prefur using stock parts whenever possible. tatro

[@vonklock6807]

Thank you Tatro, I learned a lot from watching your videos!

[@petervandermeulen5918]

Hi Tatro, About the the 2 gaskets for the oilpump; The one with the long cutout instead of the 2 holes below the large round hole is for a '58 up oilpump i believe. I have to use one on the pump of my '63 G engine. Thanks for the great video's!

[@pauljanssen7594]

The only thing missing you forgot the thrush washers on the other side of the case cover

[@TatroMachine]

when i install shims i put them on the inside. they can go on either side of the cams. tatro

[@GodInTheMachine]

Great Video! Helped me a lot…

[@MarcinEasyRider]

Hello 😀👍

[@nanonevol]

Lots of experience needed to tighten those case screws with an impact to the correct torque I would imagine.

Hi. The points on cams should be setting together with hole point on oil pump and together with point on flywheel on crankcase screen? Thanks You for help!

[@petervandermeulen5918]

Hi Tatro, I'm running a '63 G engine and transmission in a solo frame. I'm currently having the engine rebuild. The cam bushings in the crankcase have at least 1/5 cut away from the edge (i have a picture if you want) where otherwise the groove would be. I'm guessing it's done to get more oil to the cams. It is nicely done, no amateur job. It had a Linkert DC on it when i got it, so it was a go-slow Servi-car. Do you know if this is a factory part or custom machined? I can't find it in any partsbook. Thanks!

[@TatroMachine]

the cut down bushings are fine. i don't know who made them. tatro

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Got your Christmas jumper on there, boy?

[@urdahl34x]

So after all the cams are in and on their marks should you still be able to see the hole lined up on the breather gear?

[@TatroMachine]

who cares, are you timing the cams or the breather. same deal for the ignition. tatro

[@jackiezhou8810]

How are these cam bushings lubecate when the motor is running?They are oil free bushing?thanks

[@TatroMachine]

splash, just like most things in a harley motor. tatro

[@paulseabrook8179]

What was the first year of the 4 cam motor. These motors were actually hot rodded

[@TatroMachine]

1929 harley 45's. 1930 the big twins came in. tatro

[@urdahl34x]

Im working on a 46 UL when I put the timing mark in the center of the window and time the breather gear. Then I put the cams in on there marks the pinion gear is three teeth forward from the mark. WHY? I am stumped. Please advise.

[@TatroMachine]

because you are a dumbass. what are you doing? setting the cam timing, breather timing or ignition timing? what about the valves? pick the one you want to do and do it. i don't know why people think they need to or can do everything at one time or spot. you don't see me doing this crap in my videos. just take one thing at a time and get it done. tatro

[@Patrick_B687-3]

Should I use that gasket cinch on a modern bike like a TC88 primary cover? Probably a dumbass for asking but want your opinion. I’m about to take off the whole chain case for new seals.

[@TatroMachine]

if it is a paper gasket, yes. if it is a format gasket, than no. tatro
