Noticed that Harley rates the torque for the 96 engine at 92.6 ft.lb. at 3500 RPM and the 96B engine at 89 ft. lbs. at 3300 RPM. Wondering if someone could enlighten me as to what this is all about?

How far are the fires from you ? or anyone else here Hope all are safe

Here is my problem. I have a 1996 Evo, I replaced the stock cam with mild Crane cam. I replace the oem pushrods with Crane adjustable push rods. Now I have this rattling noise and the mechanic called Crane and they told him the new push rods were larger than the oem ones and they are actually hitting the sides of the pushrod tubes. Crane said they had calls on this all the time and to go to the dealer and get oversized push rod tubes and that would fix the problem. I have called the dealer and talked to several bike garages and no one has ever heard of over sized push rod tubes. I need some help if anyone knows where to buy this item, or any experiences with the same problem...Thanks

I had a guy come over this weekend and adjust my push rods and bleed my lifters. What a bitch getting those damm covers back on. Anyway, he put it all back, we fired it up and now it misfires. Since the rods are intake / exhaust I am thinking one is off.

Do you think he tightened the push rods to much? Did not bleed the lifters right? I dont want to burn through my valves. Its also tapping from the rear rods.

I took a chance with this guy. He had a shop 15 years ago back in NY and had the same bike but he lost allot of brain cells since. I tried to help out a guy living on the street.

I am afraid to start it until I resolve this.

What do you think a shop would charge to look the entire bike over, adjust my carburater, maybe re-adjust my push rods, fine tune it? I...

I am looking for thunderheaders for my 97 sporty. I can't seem to find any under 550.00 I would love to pick one up that is lying around someone garage.
