Perfect,informative,no stories about a dog,cat and a bird. No B.S. got right to the point!!

What kind of crazy video is this? No Music , No jabbering, No Stuttering, No Umms, Errrs, Uhhs? Clear concise, to the point, NO BULLSHIT, and possibly the most understandable mechanical disassembly/assembly video I've ever seen... Subbed, Rang the Bell, and looking forward to anything else you care to share... BRAVO!

Unbelievable. He did all that and didn't cut the pushrods with bolt cutters. It CAN be done!. Purely educational video done very professionally. Bravo

It can be done, but it is a little easier, and less expensive if you do it more than once, to have adjustable push rods. He did remove the rocker boxes. What I didn't see him do was replace bearings or clean out screen sock.

Probably one of the best videos I've ever watched! Not a bunch of wasted footage-straight and to the point with torque values mentioned.

Hands down best video made to address tensioner assembly replacement. Thank you.

You did an awesome job of tear down, inspection, cleaning and assembly ! Thank You very much and I didn't even have to go to school to learn all this H.D. Engine tech stuff. WOW! Cool, from the Ole' Jar Head who loves to wrench and fix everything.

my Harley Road king was stopped for six months, thanks to your video my bike came back to life

What an excellent presentation -- I feel like I now have a thorough understanding of camchain tensioner removal and replacement. I have a 2003 Dyna Low Rider and at 32,000 miles my inner shoe was completely worn out and broken. I caught it in time and based on your Part 1 and Part 2 videos I have completed tensioner replacements. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

ONE OF TE BESAT REPAIR VIDEOS I'VE SEEN. THANKS YOU

Absolutely fantastic video. I have an old twin cam with a ton of miles so I have done this a bunch by now. Your video is the best I have seen to date, and you explain the engine timing procedure very well, something that most of them skip on. Thank you so much for this!

THANK YOU! very good step by step ! have a great day!

Just such a pleasure to watch a professional work and listen to him clearly explain his process and knowledge. Thanks for the great work.

Excellent content. What's not to like? Subscribed. A TC88 is for life, take the rough with the smooth. Had a 1340 fxdl for around 10 years, wasn't going to go with the TC but got a '99 FXDL as a full restore project. Best video I've seen but I would lock the inner tensioner from the outside to aid cam install,lower back down gently.

The correct way to do it....Well done 👍

un saluto dall'Italia e grazie per aver condiviso il tuo lavoro

@@delorean1 I have a question. When I remove camplate it will be marked as it comes out with locking tool in place, I'm leaving oil pump in situ, when I reinstall do I still need to do the aligning process, or will it be in line still as I have removed it?. Thanks.

That was one of the most informative videos I've seen on KZread

Great Video!! Although I am still afraid, I will get everything apart okay, But, when it comes to putting everything back together, Oh boy!! My Shovelhead I had back in the mid 80's was the last time I attempted to work on my Harley. I also had a great friend that rode and worked on Harleys forever. He had a garage at his house and every tool imaginable. A great friend that helped me anytime I needed it. Then in 2000 I bought an 883 Sportster that was brand new and only needed maintenance which Harley would do, because I moved away from my buddy. A few years later after selling the too small 883, I bought a low rider which Harley Dealership also did the work on, this was back in 2004. Since then, I haven't ridden until last month when I went and bought a 2001 Dyna. I have hardly any tools and no friends that can help me, also no money since I became disabled and can't make the money I used to make!! So, I HAVE to learn to do this myself or sell the bike I just bought. Which selling it is out of the question since I'm way older and disabled, if I sold it I'd probably never ride again!! So, this video really helped! So far, I haven't checked for wear on the tensioners, since I don't ride much at the moment. Now it's time to buy some tools a bit at a time so I can at least check the tensioners before I ride again. I need sockets, wrenches and the gaskets to check them. Get that done hopefully this month, and just keep watching these two vids over and over again, so if I need to replace them, I'll have a better understanding of what is involved and hopefully get the sucker put back together correctly!! Rding makes my old, broke, disabled butt feel a heck of a lot better!! No way would I even attempt this job if I had not seen this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

Did this last winter. I suggest if anyone is doing this, to upgrade to the shoes made with Stanyl Polyamide the ones from "Cyco Gaskets" and not the stock Harley crap. Also, always replace the crap Harley INA inner cam bearings with torrington bearings. Always good practice to upgrade Harley parts because Harley engineers have shit for brains!

Good instructional video. I have a 2000 FLSTC and during COVID lockdown I did the teardown, but replaced the stock camplate with hydraulic chain tensioner, new cam bearings, cams, oil pump and lifters. On the top end replaced the oil breather sponge, flapper valves and o-rings. Also installed rocker lockers which did quiet down the top end. Thanks again for the great video.
