Randy’s 4.5” stroke, 84ci Pannhead – note the early S&S flywheels
Check ball seat and pressure seat re-ground. New springs and check ball spring set @ 1.25lbs
New cam and pinion bushings installed and line reamed
Inner cam bushing being line reamed
Outer pinion bushing reaming process
Internal case painting helps to keep oil clean and prevents leaks through porous aluminum cases. Notice the bean-pot floatbowl in the background. It gives you more fuel, but they are very rare.
Degreeing the breather window for extra stroke
Notice above the cam the square breather hole to increase the internal breathing of the engine for the new stroke.
Final fitting of all cam chest gears for final pitch diameter

Didn’t have time to start it up this week, ran outta time – but hoping to get it started early next week and film a video of the process.
