Pal of mine is looking for an early Twin Cam B engine (99-06) to fit a Softail. Fitted to the Fat Boy as well I believe, this is the balanced engine rather than the A type fitted to the Dyna/Road King.

Any help to point him in the right direction and get him back on the road would be welcome :thumb
 
I can offer a pearl of wisdom;

Dont buy an engine from Doris - he's probably blown it up at some stage and had to rebuild it.

Happy to help. :beerjug:

Bugger!

Keep your eyes and ear open please, the lads been off the road for 18 months looking for one.
 
Does he really need a full motor? Lots of engine builder and custom places “up grade” the 88, so generally have top end take off parts to get rid of. Cranks can be refurbished etc.... try ringing some of them and asking?
 
Try giving Matts machine shop a ring. He might know to something.

Yep.

His original motor is fubar, cases, crank, jugs, pistons, valve gear.....whole lot.......boom!
 
That's some bang. How on earth did that happen?

I believe it started with a cam chain tensioner and went from there, but I may be wrong.

It wasn’t a standard motor, it had been fairly heavily modified and well oversize.

Think he’s looking for something a bit more ‘standard’ this time :D
 
Cam Chain Tensioner Issues are not uncommon on the early TC's.
Better to go Gear Driven if you get the chance.
Crank Scissor is also a known Issue, especially on the Big Bore Motors where the Top has been Modded without Strengthening the Bottom.
