    @paulwalker7202 Місяць тому +1

    it was probably just the valve seals that were leaking. pretty common if it's been sitting up. also you can use compressed air to hold the valves while you take off the locks and springs without pulling the heads. but sounds like youre like me (more time than money) and it gave you something to do that week. always enjoy watching your videos and hope all goes well! much love and respect!

    • @scootertrampscotty

    I could watch all 3 videos as 1 scotty. Good informative videos man. Valves look like they could be a pain, imagine doing the m8 heads with 4 valves per head????
    I shop in Uniontown, pa close to were I live in canonsburg did cylinder and head work for me a few years ago. He did a 5 angle valve seat machine with better springs and valves, as well as decked gasket surfaces and a 10 over bore and hone work. It had andrews cams and forged high comp pistons. 2003 twin cam 103, and after all that work, the motor was a beast. Was almost to much power....I should have kept it but had to sell for financial bullshit. I have an 04 road king now with a 95" twin cam. Runs good enough for me at this time. Take care scotty, look forward to see the first fire up on the motor you just did man....

It will extend the life of all the top end parts. I keep a small metal bottle of the stuff on me , but buy it a gallon at a time, This is the kind of stuff old farts do and it worked back in the day and still does work. It's sort of like taking a vitamin. It may take years to really see the results.
