Did you top up the oil?

I just don't get it someone is kind and willing enough to make a 1 hour video for people to watch and learn, and all some people can do is complain and criticize. If they can make a better one go ahead and do so. I have built hundreds of motors over the years and could not do as good as a job explaining the steps. I originally just wanted to say thanks but then saw all the negative replies. Once again realizing how many ungrateful self centered people are really out there. If it bothers you that much then why do you take the time to watch it and comment. Once again thanks to JP & S&S.

Thanks Chris, i too was going to comment on just how good of a Job the Man gave, while i was watching, i said to myself, WOW this is Classroom quality and for a Mechanic to give info that most keep to them self, this Man went out of his way to do this Video, as for as the Comments, we live in a Hateful, Greedy World to day and this Man set the stage for us to follow, i too now know how blessed i was to have installed a Gear to Gear set in my 02. Again thanks and i was only going to say you are so right, lol.

THIS is how youtube works.I have questions, your video had almost an hour worth of answers, for FREE... guess where I'm going to go if/when I'm ready to try this myself? J&P and S&S, because they showed me how to do it, in superb detail. Awesome video.

I am not a mechanic. Therefore i pay a mechanic to work on my bike . this gentleman took the time and patience and illustration on a live job even i could do this for the most part. The most respect and appreciation for this man. By far the best hands on video yet. Thank you .

My 7 yr old GIRL does these menial tasks in the workshop !.. Harleys a basically the same as old petters diesil engines or old massy Ferguson tractors.. All you have to remember is after a full rebuild you shouldn't have any more than 15 spare bolts, 7 spare nuts and 2 spare cogs !... It won't start if you have a spare chain !.. Easy-peasy...

I taught Automotive Mechanics for thirty five years, you are an excellent presenter of material, factual and confident. An excellent teacher makes the difficult look easy. Well done indeed, a natural teacher. God’s Blessings. Sid from Petrolia, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦

Absolutely an outstanding, well-presented video. Applause to S&S and JP Cycle for this one!

First I want to say a big thank you to Justin and S&S for creating this video. I followed this step-by-step over a year ago, I waited purposely to comment until putting a substantial amount of miles on the bike after the upgrade. Just want to say the performance of the cam is great and I've had no problems whatsoever. I've probably got about three thousand miles on the new cams. I am thinking about doing a top-end upgrade, just the bolt on to take the 88 Cube to about 98 cube without boring cylinders. I was wondering if anybody knows of a video showing that procedure as detailed as this cam upgrade video is. Thanks again for the great video!

This is one of the best videos on KZread hands down, along with that one of the cat doing that thing, hilarious.

This is the most thorough and easy to understand videos I have watched related to cam/rods/lifters. I chose to do the job myself after watching and all went well. Thanks

Vid's like this helped me build my motor when I upgraded from 88 to 95. I watched it a number of times. I've wrenched on stuff all my life and manuals are great but never give you the whole picture.

Holy crap!! Who ever knew that so much was involved in this process. I'll never question a mechanic ever again!!

Great video, I’m a retired HD mechanic and this is one of the best videos I’ve seen and I understand the thumbs down,it’s always been like this, what it is it’s people that think they are HD techs they always think they are better which isn’t true but that’s the way it is.

Thank you J&P Cycles and S&S for sharing this! It gives confidence in tackling a project like this, very interesting!

I just ddid my cam installation all based on this video, minus removing the tank and going through the head, amazing video!

Question for anybody - my 2003 tc88 (fuel injected - V&H Short Shots exhaust, V&H Naked air cleaner & V&H fuel map) has 22k miles & I want more low end (rpm) torque. Any suggestions on which S&S cams will accomplish this. I'm going inside the cam plate to replace cam chain tenser with hydro tenser & may as well do a cam change while inside. Any suggestions from your experience will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I agree with a lot of people these videos are very helpful and if you have negative comments please keep them to yourself because these guys are trying to help you with their time and knowledge so THANKS MUCH to S&S and especially to J&P Cycles for their knowledge, experience,and helpful advice and hints to make the job easier for seasoned technicians and the beginners. Like my Dad always told me the dumbest question is the one that's not asked THANKS MUCH S&S AND J&P CYCLES STAY SAFE AND SEMPER FI PAUL.

Professionals with professional tools make it look so easy. Great video and content.

The best how-to video I have ever seen. Thank you. I will be back to jpcycles .

Awesome video. Jason, you are great at explaining the things that are useful to know, and the camera angles made it all very clear. THANKS for taking all the time it takes to make a great video like this, thousands of people are going to benefit from your efforts.

This Mechanic is top notch and easily understood. Thanks for the awesome instruction and keep them coming, really helps us self fix garage guys.

This video is badass.I just had this work done at my local Harley dealer with S&S products and the different from stock is unbeliveable.I now understand what work was done.I have been buying S&S products since 1984 with nothing but great performance. Thanks,

Great job by Justin (S & S) and JP Cycles, gave me enough info so that I can now proceed with the replacement of the cam chain tensioners.

WOW......... Great Video, really a Brother doing what he did not have to, NO way could the Video be better, may God bless you in all you do my Brother!!!

Thank you for this important information,you are the best and I can find the best information on this article

Good to finally see a guy who knows what his doing upload a great video and the best part of all he respected the bikes owner by not being rough with it. awesome.

I just bought a basket case FLSTS in really deplorable condition. I'm an old gear head from way back but have never had my hands on a Harley Davidson and this resurrection is going to be all me. Thank you J&P! After watching this excellent video, it appears the learning curve is not going to be nearly as steep as I thought it might be.

Excellent video! I've changed many cams out, but you showed a couple of tricks that just made it easier and faster! I appreciate you taking the time making this video.

Thanks so much both J&P Cycles & SyS for this very detailed video. Im a 100% to the good on now having a decent grasp on doing my own cams

Just bought my first twin cam. I have been learning about the engine. I came across this video. Wow great job. Thank you

This video has helped me 9 years after it was made, very detailed and extremely helpful.

I've done this twice now, and this is by far the best video I've seen on youtube to do this job correctly.

Well done! Great job walking us through. Thank you!

I am very honored to be able to watch the video and also very grateful for the time you had to show us the procedures, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you for the post of this in length. Very informative, covering all that is needed to change cams, deal with pushrods etc. Well filmed also & described. Excellent video.

Thanks for taking the time to make such an informative video.

Great help!! Thanks a lot for posting this video!!!! I don't get the rude replies...people can disagree with a process or have another opinion. But don't be an ass towards someone you've known only through a video tutorial for crying out loud. Ever try to make a video?? They are A LOT of work. Justin just gave us all a few hundred dollars worth of knowledge! Now I may not do everything exactly like he did. But I respect all the time he gave to pass along this teaching. And I would be confident in doing this job on my bike. THANKS! Thanks JP Cycles! Hope to see you in Anamosa this year.

Your even temperament, knowledge, and high quality video makes this an excellent source.

Thanks, this was by far one of the best and most informative videos on Harley work that I have seen on KZread so far....!

I managed the Technical Trainging Departmrent for Boeing corperation and am familiar with training delivery methods and systems. This was a very perfessional and well explained video presentation. I am actully in the process of checking my tensioner on my 2010 Ultra Limited. 57K miles and very little wear on the pad. Good job presenting this information.

Outstanding instructions, really well done and a pleasure to watch and learn. Editing is nicely done, sound is perfect ... I ride an Evo but there's so much great general shop info here it is well worth watching by anyone who wrenches. Thank you S&S and J&P!

I wish they would do a few more videos, this was excellent. I taught electrical theory and hands on at American Motorcycle School and I doubt I was as comfortable or well spoken as Justin. I'm 67 and I rarely make a comment. Thanks to all, well done!

I know this video is almost 10yrs old, but it is still the most informative instruction video on changing twin cams. Well filmed, and easy to follow. Thank you.

Awesome job! Very clear. You know your stuff!

Great video. I'm thankful that it's free!

I have watched a lot ( close to 50 or More )how to videos pertaining self performing mechanical projects on my FLHX and this is by far one of the best explained videos out there! Great Job !

one of the clearest and informative videos i have ever seen. Excellent quality. Cheers

Thanks for the amazing video. I appreciate that these videos can be hard to do.

Super nice work and easy to follow presentation style. I applaud you sir.

Wow! Although this project was quite comprehensive and technical, it was a very well articulated step-by-step video. I'm very impressed with both the mechanical skills and production of this video. It clearly conveys to its audience, the proper requirements and recommendations needed for such a job with intrinsic detail. Well done, folks!

Awesome video, thanks for taking time to demonstrate what is clearly a very difficult skill to attain and make it look easy at the same time.

Awesome Video!! I learned a lot. This will save a lot of time and money. Thanks for posting it!!

An excellent instructional video. The instructor and videography are top notch. It makes me believe that I could do this project. Thanks !!

Outstanding explanation of how to change cams! Great video and a lot of tips and tricks along the way. Thank you!!!

Very well done video, easy to follow without too many details and long winded explanations. Thanks.

This is an outstanding instructional video. I am fairly mechanically inclined and this video almost gave me enough confidence to do my cam upgrade myself. But because of warranty ramifications I let the dealer do it. But I most definitely have a 1000% better understanding of what it takes to do it. Highly recommended!

As Norman Teck stated this is a very well done video with exceptional step by stop explanatory commentary . Thank you. By far the best I have seen.

I've used S&S equipment on three different Harley's I've owned,and improved the performance of all three doing so!! Good stuff from Wisconsin AGAIN! GO PACK!!

Wish I had his knowledge 👍he can work on my ultra limited anytime

Shoulda fired it up at the end. Very educational video though! Thanks for posting! :-)

Followed this video step by step in 2012 with Woods 555's. 40k + miles later and still going. Great tuturial👍👍

This guy is AWESOME! Great mechanic and educator!

That was really interesting and I learned a lot. Thanks a bunch Justin...honest.

Well that just wiped out all my intimidation. I'm Going in . Thanks a lot. great video!

WOW!! Without a doubt one of the best instructional videos yet.

I used this video on my 05, absolutely made the upgrade a breeze watching this video thank you.

The more I see about these twin cam motors the more I appreciate the Shovlehead. I bought a 2002 FLSTC it is my first Harley newer than my 72 FLH. I have a wrecked 01 Road king I was going to rebuild but I think I will try to trade it for a good shovelhead. That lifter is like the shovlehead hydraulic lifter.

This guy is very informative.

Nice video Justin. I learned alot from this. We really appreciate your taking the extra moments to tell us why you do things a certain way, and what can happen if those procedures are done incorrectly. Anyone following your example here is bound to be successful in their camshaft upgrade. Thanks.

Thank you for the FREE video that you didn't have to make! I enjoy watching wrenches being turned with a cold beer in hand. Doesn't really matter what type/brand motorcycle to me.

Great presentation, Would have been nice to hear him fire it up though.

Great video, very informative. Thanks!

This video is awesome. So helpful for those of us who are looking into doing those complex maintenance tasks on our own. Those cam chain tensioners need to be replaced periodically and after this video i think its easier than i had thought to do myself. Many thanks for this video. Its in my archive for later.

Well done, very easy to follow and very informative, as a car mechanic i think i could very easily carry out the same procedure without to much trouble, just a few extra tools (puller) and jobs done. Excellent work young man, 5 stars...

This guy is great, I only wish I had his knowledge.

If a person keeps a bike for years and runs up 100,000 miles they will need these tools at least twice. Mine is a 2000 twin cam and it will need the cam tensioners replaced to prevent metal from getting into the engine. I will probably swap to a gear drive cam next time around.

Yes, but there may be rental options. And even if you did have to buy it, it's still cheaper than the labor charge the dealer would charge you to do the job. And you could always resale the tool later to recoup large portion of the cost.

Awesome video Sir ! just straight knowledge with style AND NO BULLSHIT music, thankyou very much for your professionalism

Great Video!!! The best part was at the end when he explained how you can find the top and bottom and set that lifter adjustment dead center without knowing anything about thread count and/or brand. I must thank the the Brother who passed that knowledge to me many years ago who now rides with the Forever Chapter, R.I.P. " Arsenal" you are missed by many. and again great Video

The haters are the prima donna mechanics that can't stand the fact that someone can wrench on their own scoot. When I was coming up we weren't afraid to tear something apart in the garage and learned a great deal helping others on their bikes. Nowadays some guys aren't confident enough in their abilities to change oil or plugs and wires let alone an in depth yet easy job such as a cam swap. Maybe someone will attempt something on their own because of this video and stop perpetuating that only Harley certified mechanics are able to do anything at all on a bike. Thank you for sharing your skills, knowledge and tips with the world.

Excellent video.

Thank you for teaching us how to care for our HD. Fine job Keep up the great work.

I'm not a Harley owner but thinking of getting one. This is by far the best technical video I've ever seen. My grandma could install a set of Harley cams after watching this video. Good onya mate, well done and thanks for sharing. Subscribed and liked.

Just back from Sturgis. Met a biker with a 2003 TC88 Elctra Glide exactly like mine. Over the years he replaced the engine and converted to gear drive. Then I saw the odometer... 489000 miles. (The bike looked like it too)

Thank you for a great video !!!!

Thank you very much for your expertise explaining and making this video. I enjoy working on my Harley and feel confident I can complete the cam install. I would not have the ability without your great video and patience explaining this in so much detail. No other video does it better. Thank you again! Respectfully, Chris Cunningham 103 Harley Heritage.

Thanks so much for the video. I recently changed the cams on my '14 Road King and it was pretty easy. I didn't cut the pushrods but removing the rocker covers and rockers wasn't nearly as difficult as the interweb made it out to be.

You're awesome dude- thanks for posting this! I am working on this now! ;)

bloodyBill not sure I understand question.. But if your are talking about the cam install on stock H-D; I believe you meant you have gear driven cams and not belt driven cams. Off the show room models should have chain driven cams. I know the gear driven cams can not have crank with too much run out, but chain driven cams can have slightly more

It probably sounds no different, or quieter, than when he started. It's the torque difference before and after that would impress.

I think he did a killer job explaining the steps and process . He made it sound so easy I want to do my own cams and pushrods thanks .

I will say at the outset I am not a big fan of HD products, but I can appreciate watching a good wrench at work. It is a valuable skill to be able to explain what you are doing in a clear and concise manner and give the reason for doing it a set way so that others who are less experienced or skilled to understand it and duplicate what you are doing successfully. Well done..........well done.

The guy knows his art.

Very happy to pay 6 hrs. Labor to the local bike shop , I like to get a little greasy changing the oil in the 3 holes, but this job is a bit much.

Thanks for a well informed video. Mr.Bramstedt give the viewer the knowledge of his skills. Thanks to J& P Cycles, S&S Cycles. Harley Davison # 1

Great video this guy takes his time in explaining proper procedure as well as guidance for newer mechanics or civilians that want to do the work themselves . Great job

an now I wanna hear that bike running

Nothing wrong with a set of adjustable pushrods. Otherwise pulling the entire rocker box new gaskes and lifting the tank is involved. You'll never have a problem with the adjustables

Well done! Thank you very much for the informative, well made video. And no obnoxious music!
