This was excellent! Walked me step by step through replacing my rocker box gaskets.

Thank you for the clear, concise commentary, easy to follow tutorial with great camera work & zero unnecessary chatter to stretch the video out to fit in 2 adverts. Oh yeah the what tools you need was really handy. .

Great, careful step-by-step tutorial Biltwell crew. Sound is good, lighting is good and the VO is great! Saving this for future maintenance!

Thank you so much for this video. I have an 883 hugger that I have on a motor mount right now and I have been wrestling with the idea of doing the gaskets myself but I question my skills. This is a confidence builder for sure. THANK YOU

Thank you.. probably the best how to video I have watched in along time.

You are good, explaining clear, slow and steady good man.

This video is on point, awesome job!

Awesome video. going to install rocker lockers in my sporty as they are getting so loud and this was exactly what i needed!

As others said, perfect instructions. Thank you.

Always love your shit ! Clear simple grwat image great sound ! Cool mustache bru

THE BEST VID ON THIS PROCEDURE!!!! THX!!!

Thanks a lot! You guys are awesome!

This is very useful information thank you so much

super helpful, thanks guys!

Just found your vid dude , finally a vid omitting all the crap and waffling 😀

Thanks, great video!

Great vid!

Great explanation, but make sure the gasket is sat correctly before tightening up.

Clear as a bell !!!!

Very clear, quality instruction video. The very muted music is perfect. Thanks, and subscribed !

Good vid, thanks.

Surprised you didn't first find top dead center to relieve the pressure on the rocker box before removing the bolts. Also surprised that you didn't line up the new gasket before putting back the lower valve cover on it.

There may be less pressure on the springs if you turn the engine to top dead center

does the bike have to be on Top dead center ??

I need that tool for that rear rocker cover with the short 3/16th hex head wrench, where was it purchased and who makes it? My 3.7 fuel tank has a support bracket right above this hex bolt and can't get it out, even with cutting down a 90 degree Hex wrench to fit in it still can't get it out, maybe they previous owner used red lock tight or something on it.

It's this guy would put the Piston up on top dead center both valves would be closed and you wouldn't have that pressure on the valve springs then you wouldn't have the pressure when you take them bolts out for the rock armsthen you wouldn't have to worry about criss-crossing your bolts as you take them out

Recommendation's on High quality Gaskets. For this R&R.

Him ; “You’ve got to have a torque wrench for this service” Me ; “A quarter turn before it strips will do” 😎

I’m pretty sure the reason he is not explaining TDC is because if you don’t already know this then you shouldn’t be doing the job. IMHO

How often do you need to replace the gaskets?

appreciate the video, don't have a bunch of money just laying around, so I try to do things like this myself.

Can you make due with an off year Sportster Service manual? Ya know because they haven't changed in years

Question… is this identical to a 1200 also? I have a 1990 XLH Sportster that’s knocking a bit in the top front head and need to tear it open to inspect

Y eather way are they jameson or comitec paper o sheet metal gasckets that go eather way 0r please answer this how did you know you were on top dead cenrer did you do this prosses but not mention it great tatorial on specs had to like the vid hope to see more soon your subby here

What kind of wrenches? My cheap socket set and torque wrench doesn't fit under the backbone. Maybe need to upgrade to snap on?? Nice explanation and video btw.

This is the tool Rob uses to get those bolts under the backbone: www.jpcycles.com/product/910-880/kastar-rocker-box-cover-wrench-replacement-bits?mrkgcl=444&mrkgadid=1000000&Google+Shopping++-+All+Products&product_id=910-880&adpos=1o1&creative=278659151686&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=Cj0KCQjws7TqBRDgARIsAAHLHP5RdBRgOQ7m2ZkBpWbOMWcT-yjJC85LBuW6B2hffX432maz4a-fnMMaAuEfEALw_wcB If you don't have access to one of those, you can trim down a regular allen wrench to fit it under the backbone.

Hi do you need to set bike into gear and find the piston on the top position? Thanks

I thought so too - you roll the motor over till both rockers are flat, which tells you the valves are closed (or nearly closed). Here it seems he just loosens the 4 bolts slowly and evenly and apparently it does the trick.

How are you supposed to torque the rear bacj rocker cover bolt when the frame is 100% in the way . Dude didnt even torque it right in the vid, how tf do you fit and tool town there

Where did you get your 3/16 rocker box allen wrench? 1:35

Hey Luigi!! Where’s Mario??

Is that a Pulling Teeth tattoo on your left hand?

after this did you go save princes peach mario?

You’re not even showing how to remove the rear temp sensor. You can’t even take off the rear rocker cover without doing that.
