Damn dude. Went from hoping it was a valve spring or rocker arm to complete rebuild. Sure would be cool to see S&S hook you up with a 131 crank cylinders, pistons, cam chest kit,, and all the goodies to work your heads. Can’t wait to see your next steps and follow along on the rebuild!
I really appreciate that you were honest about the way that you rode the bike and your expectations of the motors longevity. Does ease my mind about how long my M8 might last as it's not near the hi output setup you're running and it's ridden a bit less aggressively. Good luck with your new build!
AWESOME that you got that kind of life out of it!! Granted it sucks that it gave up the ghost, but dude, 30-50k on it and its not like it was highway miles... :D I wouldn't be upset in the least. If anything its a testament that its been so good!!
My oil pump went out on my twin cam that stop or severely restricted the oil movement through the motor so Harley tolerances on the main shaft coming off the flywheel is .004 out of round mine was .068 out lmao. Luckily I was still under warranty so it cost me $50.00 total for a brand new engine that I did the stage II big bore on now has 80k abusive miles on and still runs like a scalded dog lol. Good luck on your rebuild brother remember this is a great time to put bigger and better parts in now because the labor is the same as building stock lmao.
Dude, 70k of hard ripping, you got your money’s worth. Still sucks, but that was a lot of hard riding and shouldn’t surprise you. Rev Perf has fair prices on crank rebuilds if no one will sponsor you. Then do a timken upgrade and rip it another 70k.😉👍🏻
Seems like the bigger the build the less reliable they are. Seen many instances where 124 and 128 kits grenade the motor or clutch. I would imagine the 131 will have some issues down the road. Think I will stay with a 114 maybe do a cam.
I think it did well for they kind of miles you’ve put on the bike I’d be happy with it You ride aggressively I’ve lost bottomed With 3000 miles. And my old drag sportster 1/4 mile
You know what they say, "you can pay a little now or you can pay a lot later", I would've recommended a forged crank/flywheels and rods vs just welding the crankpin on a stock cast crank in addition to the timken lefty bearing conversion to the case(if that wasn't already done) especially for an engine that's going to be run hard.

If it was a 107 from start, you can only go to 124.
Orale good video Homie, can't wait to see it back on the road Homie, Cee U On The Road..
I'm looking forward to part 2 and 3 and maybe even 4

Dang bro that sucks! Keep the videos coming! Maybe do a go fund me to help out with the cost.
Damm... That sux but 70K .. you a good ride and use of the bike... What was the outcome of the bike ????
Damn man that blows. I’ll buy a hoodie to help out. 🤘🏼
Hell yea. Screaminspeednfab.com
@@schamberlin5150 Just grabbed a hoodie to help out too. One free wheelie with every purchase??!?
Rip to that version of the motor! Can’t wait to see the rebuild

That Mexican music jammin in the backgraound though. 🕺💃🍺🍺🍺🍻
good for you , I beat the hell outta mine too but i cry when i hear a noise , u taking it well
Well done Dude you broke it .

Been there and done that ! Mine has a Darkhorse. Crank in it now.
70K miles the way you ride is a pretty good outcome. Great channel stay safe
Its reparable, did you get the oil light up?
Man, I feel for ya. This certainly sucks, but on the bright side, it's only money.
What oil you usually run? Just curious, fueling claims m8’s don’t like synthetic. Was just curious your take on that.
20-50 conventional
Damn that all looks familiar. Just went through that this spring
Welll at least now you can do a dark horse crank and make it a 128” when you go back together.
so what caused all of the grooving? the runout issue? what caused the runout issue? curious
Out of balance crank!!
Solid comp Welded stock crank. Racing and wheelies
Looks like the run out was bad from the beginning?
Was a straightened and welded crank 35k miles ago that I threw back out of wack
Sorry for your loss. I know you said you were rough on it, but I'm just not impressed with the M-8.
The last smokeyvideo, I could hear some shit going down. Cameras will pick up the stuff you can't hear alone.
not bad for the miles you do. my m8 had 9 thou runout at 2000 miles
Damn good motor,shit happens 👍
Bikes a beast man...time for upgraded pistons and cylinders

first time viewer I looked down to your comments I didn't see this question so I'll ask. What brand oil did you use. great video thumbs up
I don’t like synthetic oil. I was on bel ray 20-50 mineral for last couple oil changes
So you raced the bike in the Bagger Racing League, then rode to Sturgis without changing the oil and it has 70,000 of riding it like a rented mule?
I feel your pain. My 114, Stage IV blew and I’m trying to figure the direction I’m going.
Damn man
How many miles did you put on it
26k
I think it did well for they kind of miles you’ve put on the bike
I’d be happy with it You ride aggressively I’ve lost bottomed
With 3000 miles. And my old drag sportster 1/4 mile
This is why you change your oil regularly and on time.
You know what they say, "you can pay a little now or you can pay a lot later", I would've recommended a forged crank/flywheels and rods vs just welding the crankpin on a stock cast crank in addition to the timken lefty bearing conversion to the case(if that wasn't already done) especially for an engine that's going to be run hard.
Well at the time when I rebuilt it that’s all the funds allowed for at that time. Shoulda coulda woulda
Welcome to my world big boy beating on a big toy!!!
sorry to hear about your bottom end. Have you considered a darkhorse flywheel?
Ended up goin with an ss
Well, if you’re going to break it, make it worth your time to rebuild it bigger better and faster. Sorry for news bud!!
I expected it to be worse considering how you beat on it
New motor time
Just look at it like… you can build it however you want to again!!! That’s what it’s all about right?
I scared to tare mine down lost power one day no moneys so it sits, Shout out #S&S MOTORS spuancer both of us. Peace ✌
You can get it back to premium shape.
Steve is now taking sponsors for a new motor build or a gofund me for the motor build lol?
Hate it for you, but great video. When is the follow up?
When we get some parts rollin in
It’s rode it hard and put her up dry like you should (I hate seeing the bike down but like these videos)
All in the day in the life of a RUclips influencer
First time watching this video and is it me or is there some kind of Mexican party going on next door? 🤔
There was a Mexican party next door lollllll
I will stick to my oem 96" ! Sux...Good luck!
Hey someone’s gotta be the slow dude in the pack to take the hit for the cops
Steve, good videos but for God sake, please slow down the camera movement.
Hahaha I’m terrible at filming
I've been hearing about a lot of these motors blowing up.
Well this one has 70k miles of it getting the shit kicked out of it sooooo that happens
Time for a Manowar crank from Darkhorse
Went with an ss crank this time cause of time crunch
I'm seeing some worn parts ...what was making your noise ..
Piston skirt..??
Pretty sure it’s all in the crankshaft/bearings. Haven’t split the cases yet
The amount of carbon buildup on these M8's is beyond excessive. I really can't believe how bad they are.
The motor kind of made a noise… lol
Raced with that oil THEN road it to sturgis....
That motor owes ya nothing. Now for bigger and badder
The only thing that saves that motor now is an act of God. But it’s nothing that a stack of Benjamins won’t fix !! 😎👍
Dude you’re fine Harley says the runout can be all the way up to 12……
Lmao!
We sure have a love hate relationship with them dont we. Harley needs to just build what we pay for. Quality.
Ss camplate doesn’t have those specs
@@schamberlin5150 yes I know I was being sarcastic that’s what I was told when I contacted them about their junk motors
Spanish music?
Hahaha I’m in Texas. Neighbor was havin a party last night
Ya done fucked up dare bud
Shit load of oil in crankcase.
Can you turn up the polka music.. ?? 🙄
Neighbors were havin a party
Yes but think of all the money you saved using conventional oil haha. Probably would go regardless.
I don’t like synthetic oils
Ride it to hard mate!!! like a women be gentle,,:)
Oil failure?..over rev and oil failure?..its a race bike..good luck 45
Crank runout got out of wack. Took out the bearings
With only 0.009" runout you're well within Harley's disgusting specs.
Not within specs for ss camplate n pump tho. Think that’s .005
That’s what happens with steel gears in an Aluminum housing , that’s shitty design
Yea should have aluminum gears. That’d be great! Ahhahahaha not
Yup even harley is china
What’s this mean?
modern synthetics are better in every way I'm a firm believer in amsoil look up the youtube test flows better and doesn't break down like conventional
No
@@schamberlin5150 that's fair 😅🤙
One word BUMMER 👎
