JC glad you found the problem, you have you're work cut out for you checking to see how much metal ran through it. Hope it's not to bad. Good luck brother
Always made me wonder why they didn't put roller bearings on this cover. Everything else is. Glad to see you found the problem. Definitely drop your oil pan while you're at it. Too bad you couldn't open up your oil filter and do a though inspection of the pleats just to see how much debris you can find.
@@kennethwise7108 lifters are pumping up oil is flowing it just failed . figure everything is made in china now . 20.000 miles later it failed . i will check oil pump and watch the flow the case only had a pint of oil in it it spilled on the table lift . it has been turning dark so its flowing to the pan . a speck or dirt a small stone may have fell into the case hard to say wash the bike before i tear it down blow it off with air hose . to try and stop such things hide behind rocker blocks .
You have my luck. I getting ready to get a newer bike, with low miles, hopefully in a couple weeks. i want to get out and ride, and not constantly have to fix Gypsy.
@JCcanU I got the belt back on Gypsy and took her for a ride. While out riding, she was back-firing a little, and had a little vibration, so when I got back home I looked her over, the darn exhaust had a big Crack, so today I'm taking the exhaust down to be welded, but it just seems like every time I fix one thing, something else breaks . Very aggrevating.
@JCcanU yeah, so that's why I'm working on getting something a little newer, (2013,2014) . Probably going to sell the Ironhead, the Ultra Ground Pounder, and possibly Gypsy. Keeping DIRTY GIRL Shovelhead.
@@JCcanU I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination but watching tatro machine videos. When you get a new cover you put in a new bushing I guess you have to size it for the end of the cam and it has to be like reamed . And reamed straight like line board so the crank runs straight in it and runs easy.. if I remember right.. that was going to tackle that motor that I got until I found out that the whole bike was stolen but there was a lot to do in that... That's why I started learning as much stuff as I could..
@@MoeLarrycurly1 Yep I set the cam into the bushing and play with it for a fit not to tight or to lose I have a Home made Hone stick I use Emery cloth to hone out a bushings then Wash the Cover hot water & tooth brush then blow dry . look to make sure the oiler hole is open and that the oil gets to the cam .
@@MoeLarrycurly1 in the shop we hone bushings to size with a BOZO stick it hold up under 5000 RPM 24 months at a time I was building Vertical Turbine pumps for PSI Warren Michigan we had pumps in all 50 states . if it worked for the company it work on a harley lol .
Yes it got toasty warm. 😬👍
