Since S&S Cycle supports the grassroots and D.I.Y. crowd, they sent us two engines to use for classes.
So if you are interested in getting hands on experience at engine overhauls, upgrades, or you just want to learn how your engine works, this is the class for you.
We will be tearing down, inspecting maintenance points, and reassembling an S&S Cycle/HD Twin Cam Engine. We will be inspecting rattling rockers, cam chain tensioners, cam removal, oil pumps, lifter & pushrod removal, and cylinder head removal and installation.
The goal is to make sure you are comfortable tearing into your own engine. All work will be done on engine that S&S Cycle donated to us to help support the next generation of DIY Harley builders.
This will be a three night event. Each attendee will get a handbook, horsepower building info from S&S Cycle, plus greasy hands and a whole lot of experience.
Price is based on one person per engine. Please contact me if you would like to have multiple people work on each engine. It is the same price, but I need to know for logistics.
