NOTE: S&S® recommends using Harley-Davidson® sprocket locking tool
H-D® #42314 to secure sprockets while bolts are being removed. See
Picture 2 previous page.
See Picture 3 below.
See Picture 4 below.
See Figure 1 below left.
See Figure 2 below right.
Failure to remove and install bolts according to correct procedure
may result in parts damage not covered under warranty.
Check pinion shaft runout before installing gear drive cams.
Indicate end of pinion shaft at cam support plate bushing surface
and rotate engine; reading must be .003" or less total indicated
runout (TIR). If reading is greater than .003" TIR the crankshaft
must be repaired or replaced to correct excess runout before
installing gear drive cams. Failure to correct excess runout may
lead to engine damage not covered under S&S warranty.
NOTE: If grinding is to be done all gear case components must be removed
and all holes taped o with duct tape to avoid contamination of engine
with chips.
NOTES:
Cam bearings may have a loose t in cam support plate. Camshaft and
bearing assemblies may drop out when beginning pressing procedure.
Camshafts with roller style bearings will be loose and drop out of support
plate.
The S&S® Gear Drive Cams require that ball bearings be used for both
front and rear outer camshaft bearings to ensure consistent center to
center distance between the gears. Since the gear drive does not exert a
large side load on the rear camshaft, the higher load handling capacity
of the stock roller style bearing is not required.
