Hey mike , I’ve probably watched this evo build a hundred times.. I was wondering if one day you could do an in depth video of crank end play.. something that I believe is overlooked so many times in build videos and it is so very important.. aloha from Hilo Hawaii 🤙🏽
@pacificmike9501
3 жыл бұрын
Crank endplay is something you always check, but on this "late model" stuff it's pretty much already handled by the "Timken" set on the left side. Most of us buy those bearings as a "matched" set. That's two bearings, two races, an inner shim and an outer shim. This sets it. You check it and your good to go. The bearing on the right side doesn't need the endplay set because the left side is controlling it. Realize this setup is used from 1955-2002. Aloha.

@pacificmike9501

That's very cool. However, lapping the cases is done with the motor diassembled. Once the cases are split, main bearings should be replaced and refitted. Reusing the left side is often done, although I normally replace them if I've gone that far, and the right side race is normally lapped and new bearings fitted. I'm not saying skipping it can't be done, but I can't recommend it.

I have one question - and it comes from watching engine factory videos from Milwaukee and Germany- rather than painting on the liquid gasket/adhesive on both sides of the cases, how do you feel about just pushing out a roughy 1/8” bead on one side of the case and then pressing together and the bead spreads thru the interface? What is the downside? I am just curious.

Its temperature range is from -60 to 300f, which fits well with engine operating temperatures. On a half inch bolt, its yield strength is 80 in/lb, which my five year old could break loose without heat. I even use it on brass screws like the carb adjustment.

This one requires some expertise. When these were originally cast, things were machined in order. The cases were machined for their parting line, bolted together, then the deck surfaces for the cylinders were machined. The surfaces that are required to work together must be correct. A lot of cases look like they don't match., main bearings, deck surfaces, cam bearing to cam cover, they all have to match up. Other than that, cases will vary because they are cast. All those things must be correct. Someone who is a real motor builder can usually correct all of that.

I noticed you’re using the same “new style” pinion bearing that I’m using in my shovel. Am I correct in assuming that you don’t use the washers/spacers that go on either side of the old caged bearings? Just insert the correct size bearing and then the snap ring it comes with and you’re done?

Mike, wouldn't it be a good idea to press camshaft needle bearing into right hand case before assembling cases.

Not a bad idea. Shouldn't really matter. We'll put the cam bearing in next.

Don't they make a gasket for that?

No. That's why you "lap" the case halves together. A perfect fit with the proper sealant does not leak.

I'm assuming you're speaking of "wet sumping." Ride the bike more. The oil is probably getting past the check ball in the oil pump. Gimme more to go on.

So Mike what is your favorite engine? I love the knuckles but as far as being reliable and running strong I pick the 92-99 evolution.

No doubt about it. Evo motors are great. They last a long time and work well. Shovelheads run like only a Shovelhead can. They sound, feel, and smell like Shovelheads. Awesome! Now, Panheads are from another time and were designed to run on those new "cross-country" Highways. They just run down the road so smooth for days and nights on end. Great sound and feel. But sometimes, one needs a real thrill. Not necessarily for practical purposes. Maybe to relive the past, maybe because they feel like they're flying, maybe, one craves that magical sound. I don't think anything else supplies the kind of rush that comes from a "Hot Rod Knuckle."

@@pacificmike9501 I love you answer I had a pan and a shovel before loved both of them but never had my dream bike and that's a knuckle for sure ! If I had a knuckle I would set it up just like the evolution I'm riding now a hardtail with a suicide clutch and jockey shit with no front brakes and some 24 inch apes not the safest ride I know but it is so much fun to ride !! Just a knuckle engine is very expensive so I need to hit the lottery. Lol
