As a do-it-yourselfer, I really appreciate your attention to detail. Your camera setup is excellent, so we can easily see what you are doing. Lastly, explaining everything as you do helps a lot. Thanks, man. After watching the first video, I subscribed because I can see you know what you are doing. Peace
Hey brother great video, is that why when I installed my HF cam- plate/oil pump that it drains down empty in 2 nights?? Been doing that since new, should I be concerned, runs fine, I do feel a little unbalanced rotation feeling between my legs still can't pinpoint that!! Ty in advance PS I have a 2005 twin cam fat boy 95 cubic inch 1550. Andrew's 37 gears driven cams, sounds like a 350 Chevy.
Thank you. I bet you have an oring that has failed or not installed between the cam plate and the right case. As far as the unbalanced issue, the crank runout might be excessive. Also the bigger pistons would not have the same weight as the stock setup causing balance issues. The twin cam b motors have two balancer so it should be relatively balanced
@@empcycleworks hey my man thank you very much for your response sorry for the delay. Yeah I guess I got to open it up and see the tolerance on that crank last time I checked was about a year ago and it was. 005 right at the mark.. 😳 yikes
Hi I Just bought 2017 M8 Ultra Limited and I heard that they have issues with the Harley's M8. I heard one of the major flaws of the Milwaukee 8 is the oil pump used from 2017 to 2019. I read that the pumps creates conditions that might lead to engine failure over time? I know people talked about the vented dipstick and can help to improve the crankcase ventilation but might not help compare to and update oil pump? I also heard that the higher crankcase pressures the Milwaukee 8 generates coupled with the lack of adequate crank case ventilation is a real issue, and the issue only becomes more apparent with high horsepower builds like the Stage IV kit on the M8, So I'm assuming that the high horsepower M8 builds really put some stress on the crankcase pressures leading to excessive blow by. I heard the best way to deal with this is to updating my Milwaukee 8 oil pump from the 2017 to a 2020 M8 oil pump, Will this solves that issue? Adding an updated 2020 oil pump and a vented dipstick, is this a good idea for my M8?
The updated oil pump usually takes care of the sumping issue. On high hp bikes I like to run a vented dipstick and run the top end breathers into a catch can, instead of the combustion chamber
I have the same bike, a 2017 CVO Ultra with the 114 dual cooled engine. I noticed some frothing of the oil on my oil cap when checking the oil, and that is a sign of sumping. I also pulled the crank sensor right after a ride of 30 minutes or more and I got over 8 ounces of oil from there, it was definitely sumping. I also put a vented dipstick on the bike and ran my top end breathers into a catch can, both seemed to help. I have my bike in the shop right now getting the new oil pump installed. I don't wanna chance blowing the motor if the oil pump stops pumping because all the oil is in the sump getting whipped like some Betty Crocker cake mix, would be a bad day. I'm also having the Star Racing 3030 cam installed to give it that Harley sound and also more power down low and mid range. When you come back from a ride and check your oil, see if you have any froth on the dipstick, if so, yours is probably sumping as well, and you'll need to get that pump swapped out. The frothing of the oil comes from the crank beating the oil into a froth, best way I know to describe it, it'll look a little like a milkshake. Good luck Brother!
You buy an expensive American bike and shit 💩; you need to buy American aftermarket parts to protect your initial investment on top. Only in America. But, these bikes are also bought worldwide which means we foreigners either worry every time we ride our very expensive buys or ‘cough up’ more expenses on importing parts 🤯🤯.

Or you don't buy one. So no reason to bitch.
