Hi Mike & Mike, thanks for another great video. "Petrol" is the contraction of petroleum in Britain and its former colonies, as "gas" is of gasoline in your part of the world. I don't remember the details of how the U.S. came to call it gasoline in the first place, but I think it was something to do with the application(s) of patents and so forth by certain individuals in the industry. I did see a video about it at some stage... Anyway thanks again, and I look forward to the next instalment. All the best from Oz! 👍👍🇦🇺
Yep, it's always easier to just take that stuff off to get to things better,but we just try to save time by not doing that making the job take longer 😎. Lots of fun and satisfaction either way!
Thanks for yet another interesting video, Mike and Mike. I just finished rebuilding a spare gearbox with an Andrews close ratio gear set for my Frankenstein panhead, and I can't wait to try it, but I can't bring myself to take that bike off the road to do the job. And I have other bikes to ride. So I understand putting off tearing down Baby Doll's motor!
You'll find lots of stuff in our videos. There are over 350 of them. Go to RUclips. Type in Pacific Mike. When the Homepage comes up, click on the word, "videos."

If she's real happy, she's fine. I'm only removing the pushrods so I can replace the pushrod tube seals. Solid lifters should be checked when doing normal tuneup procedures. Hydraulics shouldn't need to be checked once they've been adjusted.
Frustrating part about machines is having to remove unrelated parts just to get to the motor. Reassuring to see a seasoned expert have the same frustrations.
hello mike watchin from australia for 3 years now i love ya ban ta and your mechanical ability's with harleys you are 1 ov the best cheers mate ps i ride a 92 fatboy black and chrome and love it vintage rego
Hay Mike. In. Germany. A good belch. Or burp. Is not bad manners. It’s a complement. To the chef. It’s all about. Good will and a good complement. Lemay. Nelson. Vancouver Washington. Pacific coast.
Not fuel. Not gas. PETROL. BUT. WE HAVE ALWAYS CALLED. GAS STATIONS. GAS STATIONS. SO. When I put my gas in the tank. I call it petrol. Just. Joking. Lemay. Nelson. Vancouver Washington Pacific Northwest.

Thank You. I kinda hoped someone would run with that while I stayed on course. And you, sir, did not disappoint.
In Southern California we call it blastoline 😎
We've all run into one of those moments when a 15 minute job really takes an hour. Stuff Happens...
Yup. I just see no reason to hide it.
Or weekend 😆
Thank you for clarifying for me the 48-52 hydraulic valve train.
You bet!

Well said.
Hey Mike I see baby dolls wearing some later style cylinder heads. I see the external oil line bosses
Yes. That would make them 62's.
Your bike is so nice her curves shining steel was made with love
I do believe so.
I love when Mike uploads videos!
Thank You.
Mr MaGoo, thought the same when you said that !
The great Jim Backus was the voice of Mr. Magoo. You know, great minds tend to think alike.

Hey Mike. Do you know where to get crash bars like are on your ‘52 pan head? Mine is a ‘82 fxrs. Love your videos. Thank you.

why didnt you remove the horn...would make it much easier to adjust front pushrods !
Could have. Don't usually.
Nice video!!
How many kilometer do you run, to adjust the valvles?
In all bikes is the same kilometers?
If she's real happy, she's fine. I'm only removing the pushrods so I can replace the pushrod tube seals. Solid lifters should be checked when doing normal tuneup procedures. Hydraulics shouldn't need to be checked once they've been adjusted.
you gotta stick your tongue out just the right way to get that pushrod out!! LOL
Check out the next video. I do get them out.
Hey, Mike what is the correct name for those wrenches you are using ? you mentioned before but i do not remember.
Tappet wrenches.
Thank you, where can i get them?
🤙
