1972 #112 FLH 98ci shovelhead stroker motor rebuild Harley by tatro machine
see how to rebuild a Harley hotrod shovelhead stroker motor with very few new parts.
the motor ran out of oil from a big oil leak and locked up. need to fixed the motor for the summer and then fix it right over the winter.
I bet it runs good for a few years because of the way I fix things.

I gotta tell, I'm not a Harley guy or even a motorcycle guy, but enjoy the heck out of your videos, I love to watch people that not only know what they're doing but take the time to do it right, take the time to explain why and make the improvements that are needed to insure longevity. Thanks

Do you put a glue on the cases? I really like how precise you make everything. Check and double check and make it all perfect. I watched my buddy back yard build his top. end.Well he got it all back together. And a fifty cent hose clamp off his fuel line fell into his bottom end and well you know the rest..Cause he didn't pull both gas tanks off. Hard to tell someone who thinks they know everything.

i use 3bond for my case sealer if that is what you mean by glue. maybe he will learn after he looses 3 or 4 motors.

Just curious, why doesn't Harley go to aluminum cylinders or why doesn't SS do it. I really enjoy your program, I have two sportsters a 68xlch and a newer 2004 and I enjoy them both.

...Well...the 'Big Twins' started with aluminum cylinders with the Evo....1984-5....Sportys now have aluminum cylinders, but I don't know when they started that....

[@TatroMachine]

1984 and 1986. all down hill since. 1st thing you do on a race bike is put on some good strong iron cylinders to get some ring seal and head gaskets that don't blow.
