TS111 Cam Installation

[@juleswrenches909]

Nice footage! Thanks for the recommendation too. 🤙🏻 I’d like to try the Lloyds tooling myself.

Great video

[@eb1941]

Thanks for posting. Great details. I noticed Indian uses a plastic cam chain tension shoe on the outer cam chain. Did you notice wear on the plastic shoe? Any idea if Indian uses good quality bearings for the inner cam shaft bearings?

[@IndianTuning]

Very slight wear. In the 4 years I have been dealing with Indian bikes I have not heard of one bearing failure. Very robust design.

[@harryohanson]

Just FYI you don’t have to spin the crank so many times. Just have to line up gear marks. Marks on the chain and gears are for assembly.

[@IndianTuning]

Yes, you are correct, however I find it very hard for me to see the alignment marks on the split gears, so to me, this is fast, easy, and idiot proof way of insuring the engine is at TDC and cam chest is at alignment.

[@silentlystacking1167]

I was on a form and I once saw you suggest a type of shifter that can be used on Indian 111 for racing kind like a air shifter but worked of the ignition if you could reply I would be very grateful thanks for this excellent video Sir

I was around when the jackpot head pipe first came out and the flash tuner I still have my bike it only has bout 7000 miles on it

How about the valve springs, which ones are you using and are they well suited for the Llyodz?

[@IndianTuning]

I installed Indian hi-lift valve springs found in their 2019 and newer bikes as well as their BBK. Yes, they are well suited for the Lloyd’z cams. They are a must if installing the stage 3 Indian cam from the BBK or either of the Lloyd’z cams. If the lift is less then .580”, the stock springs are fine.

[@itguy5670]

After the cams are installed, Did you have Lloydz do a remote tune?

[@IndianTuning]

No, since I am a tuner, I put my own tune in. If you are interested in tuning visit My Indian Roadmaster Blog where I go through how to tune your bike. Or send me an email once you have your cams in and I will send you a tune for your bike.

[@itguy5670]

The Indian Dealer's estimate included high lift valve springs for the install. I haven't seen any information why they did this for 558s on a 111 TS. Thanks for the quick reply Craig! Also I am going through your tuning videos now for PV3 on the 111TS.

[@itguy5670]

I guess Lloydz does recommend this upgrade "We strongly recommend the use of Indian High-Lift Valve Springs (OEM Part Number: 7045087) and new valve seals (OEM Part Number: 3022580) when performing an OEM or Aftermarket Cam Upgrade on 2018 and earlier models."

[@IndianTuning]

@@itguy5670 yes, you absolutely need to install the high lift valve springs or run the risk of valve spring failure and dropping a valve. It has happened. The 558 cams have the same lift as the 585 cams...roughly .603" lift.

[@440supercharger]

Just had a question I was looking at the power vision 4. Would you know if i could use that ti tune my 2016 Indian dark horse I’m going to install a set of 585 loyd cams and new valve springs. I tried to contact Dynojet tech help and they said they can’t send cam tunes. I just wanted to know what you think would way to go. Thanks so much for you’re time and great videos and information

[@tkben002]

Are you using loctite on the cam and crank bolts during re-assembly?

[@IndianTuning]

Yes, blue #243

[@tkben002]

@@IndianTuning thanks, do you loctite the timing cover bolts? I could not find this in the manual

[@IndianTuning]

tkben002 you can use blue loctite if you want. I do not use it on mine and have not had any issues with leaks or looseness.

[@phillombardi7978]

Nice man. Would like to have heard it run! I’m thinking of putting these in my Springfield. Engine still feels smooth?

[@IndianTuning]

Thanks! Sounds great! I developed a tune for both stock factory calibration and stage 2 factory calibration. I might go back and add the sound as I want to edit the video from a comment made by RacnRay on the Indian Motorcycle Net forum. I've grown to really like the 558 cams, once properly tuned. Very nice and smooth power, comes on much stronger then stage 2 cams.

[@IndianTuning]

The engine is very smooth with the Indian Stage 3 cams in my bike.

[@eb1941]

Can you share the manufacturer of your wheel chock?

[@BigPlaneFixer]

Fantastic job!!! I too would love to hear it run. Also...that horn looks interesting...who makes it?

[@IndianTuning]

The horn is Rivco. I used their product on my Softail in the 2000's with no issue. It is a very loud horn.
