I hear the new motor mount is lower and necessary to fit the motor into the frame.  Is there going to be enough clearance to remove the rocker box covers without pulling the engine out?  -Tutt

I was riding with a friend who had an S&S 124" with leineweber cams and I could feel it running beside me like sledgehammers hittin the ground.. The 144" is sure to set off alarms blocks away. :up:

 VERY Nice!! Anyone have any idea on why S & S put ,635 cams in there beast. You compression people will want at the least 1 more full point on top of the 10.47:1 it has Now. Once you get the monster tuned TRY those cams. Hell what can it take to replace the set,Up the compression, and install -2s. ITS A NEW HEART TO PLAY WITH!!!!!

Post by: No Cents on October 03, 2014, 05:26:22 AM
 this 1st batch of the three 144 crate engines only came in two color options John.
Granite for the CVO crowd...and Black highlighted...for the stealth stock look   :dgust:
As far as the 635HO cams go...S&S tested this engine with the 640's and 675's...and liked what they seen with the 635HO's. Remember...this crate engine uses the S&S gear drive oil pump system...so cam choice will be limited unless you change the cam plate and oil pump.
I know a lot of people potty mouthed the 635's on the forum here...but S&S says they make the best power through out the entire rpm range.
I think this engine will go north of 170 hp straight out of the box.

I would be interested in the 640 option with a little squeeze in it... but I may not be able to ride it :doh:

I see breathers out of both heads? interesting. My B2's breathe out of rear head only. Front cyliner goes back into intake port.

You can hook them up to the TB or you can vent to atmosphere.
Title: Re: Randy's new S&S 144"er Big Block engine
Post by: No Cents on October 03, 2014, 04:57:16 PM
 the new 70mm T/Hog for the B3 heads is set up to accept a vent tube from each head separately. I believe the original 70mm T/Hog only accepted a single vent tube from the rear head on the B2's. Now they are venting each B3 head separately thru the throat of the T/Hog before the butterfly.
I told Randy if I was him...I'd vent the heads to a catch can or to the ground and cap the two vent holes going into the top of the t/body.
Well see what he decides.

Randy likes to wrench alone...plus I wouldn't want to scratch that fine piece of jewelry he has.

Per S&S the engine NEEDS those  lines from head attached to the throttle body to provide vacuum & warranty purpose.

He said he got good news this morning and he should have both next week.

That guy should probably tell the rest of the company, looks like S&S thinks it's a 144.

We used the mega zilla years ago . R&R has it made for there billet head , and the larger B2 style ex port that is also raised.  I have one here that he is welcome to try and see if it fits. It does not have heat shields but will work for what you are doing. Have him call me I can ship it right out.

The 131 we ran it on . Bob at RC tuned that one with the 640 cam went 160/144

Standard bore is 4.425 (142.3)  Over size bore is 4.445 (143.5)

144 sounds better.

I'm just confused as to what to actually call it.  Lol. S&S lists it as a 144 but then the rep and builder of it called it a 143 in Daytona and corrected me when I asked if they had a 144 with them.

There sure is a lot of experts on this new 144...and I don't know of any of them out there to be critiqued.
I for one am anxious to see how it does.
I think it will surprise a lot of us.

Ray

Relax, it doesn't take an expert to figure what is really the cubic inch of the thing.  Nobody is going to call it a 142.3.  Just as nobody calls a 131 a 131.54 or a 127 a 127.68.  People are wondering why some are calling them 143's and some say 144.  I think they were just trying to separate it from the 145.

Nice engine Randy, just a little tip for you. I installed an S&S124" in the spring.
Remove the crankcase thru bolt between the cylinders,apply some black rtv sealant on the backside of both washers and re-torque to 18" lbs.
Mine was misting oil out between the lifter blocks,a little annoying to have oil pumping out and blowing backwards as you ride.Other than that the S&S big blocks are a pile of fun.I hope this will save a step later. Bob

Not that I am overly envious... but

Your 70mm Hog and backing plate actually works and it bolts to the head correctly, not to mention your filter isnt tapered like mine. On my B2's I had to mod a stock bracket to hold the Hog correctly and it looks like junk compared to yours.

have a part number for backing plate so I can question tech about it?

Steve...Randy's pipe has shipped. The hold was for the clips used for the flanges on this bigger diameter pipe. They sent him tracking numbers for it...and come to find out it didn't ship because Bassani was waiting on their supplier for the clips. Randy called and found this out...and told them to go ahead and send it because he already has the clips needed for the exhaust from S&S.
That set him back a week on that fiasco.   :doh:
He could of already had it fired up if it wasn't for that.
I expect the pipe to be here any day now.

 thank you for the kind words men...we appreciate it.
The baby is fine...and my daughter is out of ICU and had one surgery and is in a room now. She was weak...but is doing much better now that they gave her the 4 units of blood. She is starting to get here color back...she was as white as the sheets of the bed when we 1st seen her.
The doctor actually said a prayer over top her during the child birth because he thought they lost her.
God does work in mysterious ways sometimes. She will have to stay in the hospital for a few more days now to be monitored.

As promised...Randy's 143/144 initial heat cycle...project Canned Heat.

kd...it has a cackle fest going on. I love that deep hollow sound the Bassani pipe makes.
I was hoping he got all the heat cycles done yesterday and he could get it out today for his 50 mile ride so he could do his 1st oil change later on today...but I don't know if that's going to happen because we got our 1st dusting of snow overnight. The roads are still warm enough that it didn't stick to them...so you never know about Randy.
I'm sure he is itching to get it out on the road and feel the canned heat.   :smilep:

I may have missed it somewhere but what tuning are you using and did S&S provide a map to start with?

If not,  I wouldn't do anymore than the heat cycles and just let Jim break it in and change the oil.  Randy has shown some extreme patients with this engine and that's allot of money to take a chance on.
Title: Re: Randy's new S&S 144"er Big Block engine
Post by: No Cents on November 16, 2014, 04:31:39 AM
 yes...S&S provided the map for it. S&S suggested the Power Vision...so that's what Randy got and used.
They also recommend their break in procedure to be done to it...which would allow him to put some miles on the bike before going to Jim's. S&S sent the map from their tuned test mule which has the same exact set up. I know each bike has it's own tuning needs...but they said this map should be very close and will let him ride it without issues until he can get it professionally tuned. Randy knows the 1st 50 miles is critical for ring seating...and I know he won't baby it.
I'm sure Randy will get it to Jim's as soon as he can.

James Stroker Kennedy said thanks Randy Edwards for the opportunity to let er rip. I appreciate your confidence. I have several requests for a ride report. so here goes . the roads were wet and it felt every bit as responsive at low rpms as any other 140-160 hp street bike . any concerns about the B3 heads and 70 mm throttle body being lazy at low rpm's ,are put to rest. with the HO 635 cam this engine is responsive everywhere. Lots of requests for a dyno sheet already. I did not spool it up on the dyno. I did a 8 mile pre tuning ride. I have to admit ,the map provided by S&S ( dynojet power vision) from their test bike is very very safe. the bike runs pretty darn well. keep in mind everything is the same as their combination was, right down to the injectors. if you follow the recipe from S&S ,you will have a good base map to start with. the bike just pulls effortlessly anywhere. 1800 rpm in 6 th gear is possible. a quick run through the gears shifting at 4000 rpms will put you in 6 th gear at 110 mph, as fast as you can crack the throttle back and forth. its quiet and very docile. one heck of a street sport  bike killer. things that need addressed.... warmup,hot startup,idle timing. it has a little clack to the primary at idle . moving timing around at idle might fix that. one other observation that might take some getting used to for some guys. there is virtually no engine braking with this combination you have to go down a extra gear when letting off the throttle before you actual feel any engine braking  effect. . hope that answers most of the questions .

That's pretty damn awesome alright. Did you do a run without the breather? I'm just noticing the distinct plateau at 5800 + and there's no AFR table.  :up: :up: :up:

It looks like the S&S "canned" tune needed your touch.  :up:

I'm definitely not nit picking but trying to learn something here. What do you think causes the curve to plateau after 5800? Fuel, Air, cams or pipe or a combination?

Added later

I just saw the run 40 comment Jim. Thanks. It looks like it gave up a little more with some air.

I asked that earlier but I was just search the specs and maybe these are EZ start cams.
Did Randy's paper work come with a parts list for the motor? I know the 120R comes with a parts catalog in the back of the instructions. The info would be useful to someone looking to buy the individual pieces to build a different size motor.

Very impressive  :up:. So what's the first change going to be? I'd make some changes to the pipe to try to soften it a tad before 4k and have more after 4k and see if it would climb to 6500. 180hp? I might have missed it but what clutch is in this?

  Very surprised at the difference between the S&S original map and the final tune. Maybe stoker should teach S&S how to actually build a map. hehe
Was the map set deliberately very rich?
Amazing results here!!  Definitely not for the faint of heart or inexperienced rider.
Freightliner power on a HOG!! Fantastic results for a "crate" motor. I have to commend stroker for the tune and S&S for the motor.
Certainly makes my "little" 124 (126.2hp/133.9t) seem puny!!  Buffalo

I think this just shows the importance of a tune vs a map from a identical build .
The map was a little rich at idle and cruise . It was lean at WOT .
The S&S bike went 168 hp. This one hit 177 hp uncorrected . It just needed a little more fuel as it made just a tick more hp.
IMO S&S provided a very safe map . I wouldn't have been scared to put 500 miles on it with their map . 
Thanks for the kind words guys .

Stroker   Thanks for the personal reply and precise answers. I won't be buying this beast, but have a close friend who has been chewing on this 144 since its announcement. We discussed the numbers for over an hour within 15 minutes of reading the results.
Will you be able to offer a new map that brings the engine even closer to a great tune?
Hows the exhaust system for volume? Us older fellows don't care for really loud any more.
Would it be a problem to hear the radio at cruising speeds (60-75 mph).
I wanted to congratulate Randy  and thank No Cents for putting the info forward, wonderful to see the 8up boys enjoying the fruits.    Buffalo

I decided to use the base map S&S sent randy. This way there won't be any questions if there would happen to be a warranty issue . If S&S wants a copy of the map randy or myself could provide it .
I won't be providing any maps for similar builds .
Several reasons , but the biggest reason is ... My map may not be as good as S&S 's map on the next guys 143 . I know it's hard for people to wrap their head around all this tuning stuff . The fact is ,with injectors this big , all it takes is a little diff fuel pressure from one bike to the next and the fuel curve will be off.

I in no way intended to convey that the map from S&S was no good .
Like I said this current  map from Randy's 143 could be as far off @wot  on the next 143.
S&S map was very good IMO

The exhaust volume as far a noise level ,is unbelievably quiet .
On a 0-10 scale . 10 being the loudest . I say it's a 4-5 . I don't see a problem hearing the tunes .

Volume ....as far as size. It's a monster pipe . It makes my wegner look like a toy.
Randy said its heavy . I believe him . It's awfully big .

I took a test ride last night . Stupid stupid stupid idea . OMG .i want one sooo bad now .
Bear in mind the roads are cold and the tire had 45 psi in it . But it is freakish on the wick .
I described it to Durwood as .. It's like a old 300 hp small block in a camaro or nova grabbing gears and playing on wet roads . It is a hand full .

Rob...if you couldn't get the engine at dealer cost and had to pay full price for it...along with the needed induction system, motor mount, exhaust system, and by the time you have it tuned. Oh...I almost forgot that you will also need a good clutch to hold it.
I'd say your looking roughly in the high 12K to mid 13K price range...that is if you did all the wrenching yourself.

 Andy...it's a very nice quality built pipe.
It bolted right up with no fitment issues at all Randy said.
It reminds me a lot of the Zilla head pipe that someone put on steroids. The collector and muffler had flawless chrome and were massive too.
It looked like it made a nice torque curve on the dyno...and it wasn't too shy in the horsepower department either.
I'm pretty impressed with it. Bassani did a nice job making this pipe for the 143 crate motor.

don't make more out of it than was said.
I respect Casey as well. just spoke with him yesterday. if he builds a pipe for the 143 it will be bigger than mine.
 
might even test this pipe,on my bike

Jim, Casey would very much be interested in building a pipe on a S&S B2 or B3 head or both in a big bore engine, but he feels most people won't talk to him because of his close affiliation to HD corporate.  He has no S&S B2 or B3 head or engine data to work off of. 

Maybe you or someone could somehow help him in the future.

Great job guys.  As No Cents said.. S&S phone has got to be ringing off the hook.  Jim and Randy should get a commission

It was so lean in the beginning that it was down 45 hp but rich enough to safely make a pull to 5800?  How was the timing?  Pretty smooth from 3400 on up.  What injectors were used?  Are they the Race Tronic ones that the starter map was created with?

 Is there a part number for the complete clutch assembly as installed? My bud has a '11 FLH, it should drop right in, right?
This is the most brutish powerband I've ever seen for a street driven bike. I am concerned that people will get this package out of shape in a hurry unless they are already very skilled riders.

This is "NOT" an engine for the average Joe just looking to thump his chest and say I got one of these new bad ass 143 crate motors.
  The inexperienced and even a novice rider could get in trouble very easy with this kind of power this engine produces as early as it does.
It would be an absolute nightmare if you were to get caught out in the rain with it. I could see it sliding from underneath someone very easily.
I think even the most experienced rider will have a learning curve with seeing something as simple as running up thru the gears without spinning the rear tire.
Over 150 ft pds of tq @ 2750 rpm's...that's right where most people shift. The tire will probably chirp with each gear.   :dgust:

  You all must remember that the 150ft/lb a 3000rpm is with the throttle wide open. If your in high gear, your already running 80mph, likely at 1/8th throttle.
The problems start when you go wot a slower road speeds. My bud say he'd like to "wack the throttle on this one, I just replied that all he would get out of doing so would be a wild ride to the ground.
The engine cruising in high gear at 3k will not be delivering 150ft/lbs.
Ridden at max power, this could be like riding a loaded 454 Casull (super 44mag for those who don't already know-hehe).
I've been riding 48 yrs, my little 124 is enough for me get my "rush". fwiw  Buffalo

my reasons for saying the Dyno jet power vision map provided by S&S was safe.
i tried to outline it so it will be easy to understand. I have the idle ,cruise and wide open throttle areas outlined.
the first two charts are the front and rear cylinders.
the third chart is what the ECM was calling for.
it looked very good  for not coming from this actual combo.
every component used was the same on each combo. (S&S and canned heat)


you cant expect injectors to flow the same even though the are the same specific injector.
two diff fuel pumps can have a little diff pressure.
two diff sets of the same model exhaust will not be exactly the same.  (i have personally seen this with two diff boarzilla on the same engine)
and the big difference  is it is two different engines

Great work by by all involved. :up: :up:
I have been looking over the sheets and have to say that my idea of what this combo would produce was wrong. I pictured a graph with less low end tq and a bigger spread between the peak hp and peak tq numbers.

It looks like S&S did a little motor testing this time with some emphasis on a total package. A crate motor that bolts in making 1.22 hp/ci is a true performance crate motor.

Jim did they say when yours will ship? :wink:

Wow, amazing chit. Might have to do another year over here just for engines. I kinda glossed over this at the beginning but being a crate motor does it still need to have the hoses run like the 124 crate engine? Think Ray mentioned in his thread about wanting to get the case and have it machined to avoid the hoses and then build from there. Can't see this block being any different.

Great build Randy and as usual, kudos to Jim for releasing the beast. Not sure which way to go now since 135 square has always been my goal. I certainly like the big block idea so maybe a smaller cam at the beginning and then later on recam and retune. Probably be cost effective just to build a 124" but then having the extra capability is hard to ignore. Excellent options and yes, I can imagine the phone is ringing off the hook. I still have to wonder about using the Baker DD7 and a bigger front sprocket to extend the cruising mph. Nutty idea but it'd be cool loafing along in 7th gear at 90 mph at just under 3k rpm. Running a chain wouldn't be a big problem adding another tooth. Whacky thoughts by Jack Tandy.

Buffalo I have had zero luck getting ahold of anyone at precision metal fab racing. I have one of their convertions (09up). I was in need of another. After 4-5 massages left and no return calls and a few emails I bought a billet setup from RB Racing. Much nicer piece but it cost a few more bucks! Well worth it! They will say you will have to buy their swingarm for it to have proper adjustment. Im running the stock arm with no issues.   .750 PBI front sprocket and chain of choice your on your way.

Streetable is a relative term. I can tell you that many of the builds posted here would need de tuning to live in TX heat and traffic " if they really ride them"  .. So region and use would be up to the end user.  The 120 does have potential and money wise maybe just a little rework on your own engine would get you where you want to be. Money wise it not going to be a low cost swap.

 I just got in from a little ride along with Randy and his 143" big block. It got to 50* outside today...so went put our bikes in the wind.
The roads were shitty to say the least so we both refrained ourselves from letting them rip...well except for the one time we crawled across a set of rough railroad tracks and Randy lit the back tire up thru two gears after crossing the tracks.  :chop:
That 143"er is one bad mammy jammy.  :up:
That little ride gave me some hope that spring time is only a few months away.  :smilep:

The Pingle shifter/manual foot shift makes low rpm 1st to 2nd shift " short hop" the front end with 124ci!!!!
                                         WITH the 143 THAT would be a full A  FULL  ON UNIcycle ride.

Saw my neighbor do that. He said "Watch this", (dangerous words), and started a burnout in the parking lot. Lost control and ran into the side of the bar. Front fender folded, rear tire up. Funniest damn thing I'd seen in a long time.

 In the beginning this engine was shipped calling it a T144. It became later known as the T143.
Here is the instruction sheet that was sent with one of the 1st engines sold to the public.
Note what it says on the top of the page.

They are the same the 144 is the 143 they just got called out because at first they were calling it a 144 and when people did the math it was 143 so they started calling what it really is 143

I noticed on "Betty Blue" you deleted the muffler as well, how much did that pick up the ET?
Randy's bike lost 13 hp without the muffler .
But it sounds wicked ,and now he can switch back and forth and play .
I picked up .20 without the muffler on my bike . I also lost 5 -6 hp because I softened up the boost at the same time .
