This is entirely therapeutic. I love this gent. The blessings of the algorithm.

Cheers!

“It’s monotonous building engines like this, but I quite enjoy it.” “Where do you find enjoyment then?” “Just knowing it’s right.” Best wisdom I’ve heard yet, and exactly why I’ve found so much enjoyment working on restorations. Thank you both for sharing your expertise! Really enjoy the videos!

Thanks David. Ash certainly values things being right. Glad you're enjoying the videos.

Here’s one for Ash, there used to be an old blind mechanic near me here when we emigrated in 95 and he’d diagnose yer trouble as you drove in, whether it was a thrust bearing or a shifting fork or your small block chev was lean or bigger problems, I pulled in to see him for the first time with one of the 5ton grain trucks we bought with the farm, a 1976 international loadstar, was running like a bag of hammers, I’d put all new plugs n leads in as they were aged but no cigar, so I pull in and before I introduce myself he stops by the hood of the truck n says after I kill it “you put them shitty NGK’s in there didn’t ya?” and I stuttered got words admitted yup, they were all they had at the local hardware store, he says “nice try kid but not yer problem” so he says fire it up and while I was jumping in he grabs a 15/16ths wrench and leans up over the rad and I hear a clack!! and the old V8 levels right out, me knowing there’s nothing up there that needs that big a wrench I asked what’s the damage he just smiles n says “stop by any time yer float-bowls jammed” great guy, was the first black business owner in that town (an oil town of rough-necks) and everyone respected him.

Thanks Ed, that's much appreciated. When the opportunity arises to dive into the gear box we'll be sure to cover it. Lots more Harley stuff coming up in a few weeks!

RiE-Store Think about producing few decals or t-shirts with your brand. I am sure that just like me, others will be willing to support you in buying them.

RiE-Store thank you! I have a question to you about the use of Marvel Mystery Oil mixed with the SAE 50 on the Harley WL. Is it something good to consider? What is your recommendation as an specialist you are? My motorcycles engine was renewed and I would like to keep it save and well. Thanks, Ed

Hi Ed - happy new year! If you didn't notice I got Ash to answer your question in this episode kzread.info/dash/bejne/eW2T2ZatpLfQmNI.html

I purchased a similar pair of the made in India jugs. The inside chamber area for the valves is not ported like on a OEM Harley jug. I bought a porting kit and removed all the square edges. Cheers!

Great video! Love learning about these Flatheads. Now I just have to get enough nerve to do this type of work on my UL. Cheers!
