Pulled my 2012 new to me down for a Cam change. This engine has NEVER been apart. 7046 miles,I bought from original owner. I have ALL service record's. This is what I found. Il re-frase,what I didn't find!

I guess once the wheel is on the cam they really don't want to rotate. Still scary to think about.
I can't wait to see the tappet rollers and cams.
I've seen some of the pins with nicks from the lifters rocking left to right.

Was gonna leave it alone & ride it. But have a trip planned out west this July with oldest grandson & have free Cam's so I thought what the hell! Glad I did the way I ride sometimes who knows what could have happened. I'm sure the 75 year old I bought it from didn't turn it much past 3000 rpm.

Someone somewhere was saying "What the heck are these leftover pins for? :scratch: Maybe someone is screwing with my head. :nix:

That's probably what saved the motor from any severe damage.
These pins are from a 117" running it really hard most of the time. You can see where the lifter body had made marks into the pins from rocking back and forth.

Ok mso what oil was it, please
I am also curious the oil. Not to start an oil debate or anything, but positive or negative experience from first hand experience can sure help a lot of people. Looks like the previous owner got him a " built Friday" engine. :doh:
Friend has 03 rking bought new. At 20,000 motor started hammering.Indy pulled apart. No rotation pins from factory. This was 10 years ago, must have been a Monday motor.
Friday motor would be something hanging by a string in the gas tank to make an odd noise.
Monday motor is usually missing and loose parts.
