Is that one of those, I think they call a ramp, breather gear?

Yes, air ramp ... "Don Hotop" started making those some years ago ..
Helps out at higher rpm's ...
The downside of this is, No-Mo arresting screen to stop debris from a blow-up getting into the cam chest ...
But .... Hoping that won't happen with this Hot-Rod motor ...
(If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room) .. Lol
Say, I'm in need of some frog hair, you holding .. ??

I traded mine for a couple of chicken molars.

Ya don't say .... :D .. Lol
I just fell into a 48EL (or so sayeth the serial) that was supposedly overhauled long ago but was obviously Bubba'ed (see pic) and apart it must come for case mount ear repairs and whatever eldritch horrors lurk inside.
Given that there's no reason not to gut rehab it (bellies are mismatched, I've not lifted the heads yet to see actual bore and stroke and builder is deceased), How do ya feel about a low-ish compression 84" with a moderate drop-in cam? If not that, what's a good way to get about 80 cubes? Objective is a comfy torquey cruiser to be ridden gently but not suck on the highway. I've got newer bikes to thrash so this will be ridden gently.
Have ya fell into a barrel of shit lately ... ??Quote:

4-5/8" stroke, 3-7/16" + .030" bore = 87 cubies
Came out of the 52 that's now 92 cubes .... Didn't have the heart to break it down being we was going with the Carrillo rods ...
All S&S stuff, most likely they sold it complete ... I could call in the numbers and fine out if it was them that did the assembly ??
All of what you see is what you will get ...
You'll be smelling like a Rose with the deal I'll throw at ya .. !!
BTW ....
Your 48 right case is from the 50-52 era cause the 48 & 49 had leftover casting from the Knucks ...

No barrel of shit here, just another old motorbike engine needing a home and thanks to back surgery (mostly) working out I can get enough sleep to push more projects. Objective is a fun bob job plain and simple. Those Edlund frames look mighty interesting too as this sure ain't no resto.
Call 'er in then shoot me an email. If there's any remote reason to break down the crank for inspection that's cool too. Consider the parts reserved (earnest money deposit no problem because I'm in earnest!). I can drive the engine down from SC after Daytona and yet another build thread may begin.
Something clean and traditional like this classic would be a nice outcome:
Man, the crank is like new ... I didn't do a check in the truing stand for runout, but the motor was a running motor so most likely it's on the money especially if S&S did the build up on it .. ??Quote:

... Hang Tight ...
Well, that sucks .. !!
S&S was well know for keeping records on products that they sold ..
But, now that's out the window due to new and improved computer system ...
Gave em the numbers and they said "That's Old" ... I already knew dat .. !! .. Lol
farmall do you have a Facebook account .. ??
We can chat there Mug to Mug ... Just like the Jetson's ...

Wanted to get both the C.B. and Gen Idle gears on low specs for end-play ...
Going to spin a few spacers out on the lathe ...
I am digging the Edlund frame myself, very clean and well made.Quote:

It's glue time ...
Did a check on the lash of cam gear to pinion gear ..
Reused the old pinion gear that came out of this motor ..
Gotta say Thanks to "Justin Leienweber & Pop" ... The lash check was right on the money, couldn't ask for a better fit ...
