This is a good video, when I was In School for small engines my instructor had us hone our cylinders and get them as clean as we possibly could , then he would take a white rag with a little bit of transmission fluid and wipe the cylinder out again, the white rag would come out black. His explanation was that transmission fluid would pull the dirt out of the crosshatch, he would put some transmission fluid in the parts washer as well .
"If i didnt want it to leak id get it cleaner then that" f ing perfect! Thats how mentors should teach. Wasnt a dick, no belittling just honest and to the point.
Always felt confident to do my own motor work on my old sportster with all the info out there, because of these videos… Starting to feel the same about my twin cam…I don’t really want to pay someone else a ton of money to do a cam install after watching your video months ago. Service manuals are Bible.
Wash cylinders in warm water with dishsoap. Works better and Saves a lot of brake clean and rags. Good build. Love watching other people having to do the work
We clean them in warm water with simple green before this and still clean them with brake clean and there’s still dirty. So definitely still clean them a brake clean or mineral oil.
This is literally my dream job, I love wrenching on bikes ! 3 year until I retire from the military, then I can figure out what I want to do when I grow up!
Coffee filters work great for cleaning engine components and leaving absolutely nothing behind! Learned that from an old school engine builder! I know it sounds crazy
Those cams like 9.7:1 and they run great, I ran them in a 2002 Train stage 4 95" 100/100 build but with your compression you're leaving some on the table. I would recommend a set of Wood TW6, they come on harder, sooner and run out to Redline. S&S 510's come on like a turbo, slight lag under 2800, then pull hard all the way up. TW6 come on like a big block, 2600 smack you in the face and pull all the way up even harder. They are a little tickier but it's a healthy tic and I love the sound of it. Just my opinion, some won't agree, just speaking from my experience and it's easy spending other peopl'es money lol.
Agreed on the cams being a little “small”. Unfortunately at the time when I did the cams, I was specifically looking for gear drive and S&S only offered a .510 lift….so it was for a lack of options. However, am really happy with how they do perform and yes, she is a torque monster.
I don’t remember what video Ryan said he wanted to get a wide glide to build for himself, but that’s what I want to see! Cause that’s what I got. Lol. I bet he can make some dope changes to one!
Informative af as always! Speaking of informative, anymore on a good one with kruesi to give us more info? Or did the countertops put a hold on that project? If so I 100% understand
😁 There’s more coming we’ve actually done quite a few more podcast but we’re pretty bad at it so we’ve kind of screwed them up and you know I’ll be recorded half for a few minutes that kind of thing. So we’re going to start again here soon we’ve just been trying to catch up from bike week
Man you guys rock! Thank you for all of the content definetly an inspiration to all of Us to work on our own harleyz. Got a question, So I am working on my project a 2003 Dyna wide glide. I installed big bore kit, 525 cams, camchest and a daytona twin tec ignition system. I am having trouble getting a spark from my spark plugs. So my question is do I need to have a particular piston TDC so it will pick up the crankshaft position center? I am getting power right up to the connector that goes into the coil.
Sounds like you got the ignition hooked up wrong or something. They’re pretty simple. They either have spark or they don’t if they don’t somethings wrong.
I turned a fork seal replacement into monotubes, head bearings, Pro 1 trees, bar rises, fairing and some other goodies.... I'm afraid if I tear into my engine Ill wind up turning my bike into a trike accidentally or something 🤣🤣
Someone lied to you, only way you could break it is if you put it back in and you put it back into deep because it is a tapered NPT plug. You have to feel it
One of these days I need my 03 Eguide to have some engine work done. Tbh I haven’t rode it much and the previous owner only put around 1k on it so it’s like brand new still. Besides it having a full reinheart exhaust and it’s a dog man lol. I’d love to get around 100/100 and I’d be a happy asshole
oh the cleaning of the cylinders, in the final stage use some atf. you will be kinda choked about all the gunk you left in all the cylinders you have assembled in the past once you do this the first time.
With it being a 2003 motor did you put the timken bearing conversion kit in because I was under the impression that they changed them in 2003 to roller bearings?
Pretty cool dudes. I just got an 04 road king that supposedly has a 95" kit in it.....seems to run strong but my last bike was a built screamin eagle 103 road king with 120tq so... Why did you not go with the sns 100" kit?...
Well for starters that hundred inch kit is trash and I don’t even think they make it anymore because they had so many problems. Plus this is a stunt bike and you do not want a bunch of power and talk like that in a stunt bike makes it very hard to handle
If you don’t mind me asking why not use the .051 compressed thickness Cometic gasket I noticed you said you used the .030 compressed thickness gasket. Btw my 88 motor is stock with a Feuling camchest with the 525 cams
@@kruesioriginals I personally don’t know nothing about the head gaskets I am changing well replacing mine because I cracked my head when I was trying to remove the stud for the exhaust so I should get myself the Cometic .030 mls gasket? I’ve read that you need to make sure you get the right size I am running a Feuling camchest with they’re lifters and one piece pushrods and the 525 reapers also no head work has been done to my 88 if you can let me know what size I would need thank you
@@kruesioriginals well after realizing and thinking about it I think I should just go with the stock one from Harley because that’s what my other cylinder has I don’t want to mix different ones since that might change the variations of compression right?
get it overbored by hammer performance in idaho, $650 and use their head service for another 650. For another 50 bucks they'll set the ring gap and install the piston in the jug for you
I was looking for this comment lol.. #000 can be used to depending but if you like your chrome just use the 0000 or you’ll be pissed lol. Never tried the ammonia but I will have some by tonight. Thank you
You can make plenty of power with a 95. I’ve built 120 hp 95 inch motors. But when it comes to a 95 I prefer 10 to 1 and a mild Cam, it’s more for stunt riding 100 and 100 or less is best
@@kruesioriginals Thanks for the reply. I actually gave that some thought after I posted. I don't do stunts on my bikes. I can see where controllable torque from idle through the mids would lend itself well to doing what you guys do. A snappy power band does not a smooth nooner make.
@@kruesioriginals well “big bore” is for sure a relative term but I call 150 cubic inch a big bore. And I had not understood that you had coopted the word quaint.
@@jimanders9971 Just to make sure you're making an apples to apples comparison make a video of you drifting and wheelieing a 150 CI bike and banging the Rev limiter for a solid few minutes continuously. Tag me when you post it.
Ryan Kruesi acts like the older brother most of us wish we had!
😁
Truth. I wana go out there and shred 🤘
Yeah hell yeah me too, shit i wish kruesi was my big brother lol! Hes a rad dude man😂💯🤙🏻

Patience is definitely not a strong suit of mine but I try🤘🏼
That’s a really really good tip about using the inch pound torque wrench for the 5 and 10 foot pound steps
Building a top end is arguably the best therapy ever: try doing an old T150 Triumph (early British triple.)
so refreshing to see it really has ,good ,genuine ,helpful people out there still, great work Ryan Kruesi and your team!
Thank you very much😁🤘🏼

gotta say Kruesi is a pretty good mechanic slash engine builder , been watching for awhile and listening and learning
I really dig the SRH Spade on fridge it completes my understanding of you . Good times .

Another great informative video!!!
Coffee filters work great for cleaning engine components and leaving absolutely nothing behind! Learned that from an old school engine builder! I know it sounds crazy
I could get done with that I’ll give it a try
@Party Boys Rippin so do I just go to work with a fresh coffee filter an go to work ? Anything you use with it or tricks?

Coffee filters are lint free that’s why

You’re guys videos is what convinced me to get a dyna. I love it so far. I’m pretty sure it needs the typical motor mounts lol
Glad we could be a good influence, they always need motor mounts. We’ve got something special coming out for them soon.🤫

Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I dropped a 95" big bore kit with 10.5:1 pistons and S&S .510 gear drive cams in my '03 Softail. Most reliable clean power upgrade ever.
That’s a lot of compression for that small of a can, it was probably made a lot of trq

@@kweitmann6913 Oh yeah I like a small cam I compression rips off the bottom real good makes a lot of cylinder pressure
Wish I could wrench on my bike w/ Ryan’s guidance. My neck bearing and front end need some work. Keep up the great content!
It’s really not that hard man. But a service manual.
@@thomasmarchese2808 I’m on a newer softail. I pretty much need special tools for the 43mm Inv front end.
95 kit on my 06 fxdbi…585 cams. Its a highway monster.
The first 90 seconds had me dead lmao
Can you do a bottom end rebuild or link me to a good one for an 88ci Dyna? Thanks BRUTHER!
We can definitely do that. You have to call the shop and talk to Trent.

Great channel. Way to pass knowledge along Kruesi!
Thank you 🙏
Great vid guys. Braappp
This is like watching Daniel San and Mr. Miyagi. Wax on, wax off, Daniel San!
Try atf for cleaning cylinders after brake clean. You may be suprised how much the brake clean doesnt pickup
We use mineral oil. Pretty much same thing

Ryan, what compression did you guys go with on this bike? What cams with this 95"? Were heads port and polished?
I turned a fork seal replacement into monotubes, head bearings, Pro 1 trees, bar rises, fairing and some other goodies.... I'm afraid if I tear into my engine Ill wind up turning my bike into a trike accidentally or something 🤣🤣
Hi someone told me that you can crack the sump taking out that sump plug I want to take mine out to check for sumping but I'm worried any advice ta

Heat cycle twice, change the oil and then let er eat. Hasnt failed me yet lol
Do you guys ever use coffee filters for rags? Lint free and pretty cheap
Also thank you for the blues music not the trash everyone plays nowadays, keep it up guys.
Haha, holy shit. My ole lady walked in and said what are you watching? Kruesi Originals. Well dude (Ryan) sounds like Seth Rogan!
😂😂
Dawn dish soap and hot water on those cylinders.
Come on Trent.. get shit done,, Again 🤣🤘😎
Is this the screaming eagle 95" kit? Where can I find one?????
I'm having "check off" ptsd watching this 😂
Damn lol I fucking love that we have the same bike Trent good looks on the knowledge !
Did you convert it to a carburetor and are you using the stock ECM for your spark
With it being a 2003 motor did you put the timken bearing conversion kit in because I was under the impression that they changed them
