Bad-Boy 92 inch 1952 Pan

The one in my avatar was my '69 XLCH, great bike. Just not a distance machine.

[Dragstews]

New for 1948 ...



Next question ....



Yea or Nay .. ??

Much better look ...


_____________________________________________

Well, kiss my grits and butter my biscuits !!

Gear case is like day one ..



Case cam bushing fit is A-OK ... Don't see any signs of it ever being replaced ...
Along with the C.B. & Gen idle shafts .. No signs of ware ..

This old motor must have been mothballed back in 49 ..
Ran around the block in 48 and then went into hibernation !!

[Dragstews]

Cylinder base studs are installed ..



Located top-end oil drain back holes to be drilled ..



A bit of chewing on the new case ..

Next to do is to install the 69-up Timken bearing ..



The Jim's tool for loading the inner snap ring (Seen in the above photo) was made for doing the 91-up Evo's ..
Mo-Co did away with the casted in steel bearing insert that the bearing cups & snap ring sit in ... Only had the case material (Alum) for them to seat on ..
Loading that super stift snap ring the old way was chewing the fire out of the case bore ..
Jim's put on his " Tom Terrific Hat" and came up with this tool ..

I use it on all 69 and up motors cause it's .......







Line lapping the pinion case race will be next to do ...

[Dragstews]

Well, guess it did some spinning back in 48 ...



Didn't take the lap very many spins to see a nice satin look all the way around the I.D. of the race ...

Ok .... Found all the needed parts to complete the pinion setup ...



A mod went down on the oil hole feeding the rods to allow a bit more oil to the flywheel cavity ...
Since we have up-graded the oil pump to the 73-up speed, no problems with getting the oil back to the oil tank ...



Did the math and .0006" OS was the winning ticket ...



Mock up the flywheels, set em in the case and some checks will go down for rod swing, piston kiss, breather timing (Open & Closing) ... Moving right along with this motor ...

Still need to balanced the wheels ... That will be tomorrow ...
Got to go water "Ruth" my Mule .. !!



BTY ...
He's a Jack not a Jenny ....

[Dragstews]

I was wondering when a problem would stick it's ugly head up ??



Here's what's going on ..

The pinion gear should be a slip fit on the shaft splines ..
This is for allowing the gear to ride up to and on the cam cover pinion bushing ..
Harley's design there was to close off pressure oil from escaping into the gear case ..

Dang thing is tight as bark on a tree .. So ...
Going to introduce a bit of ware by lapping the gear and splines ...

Working the gear with lapping compound freed it up where now it has a slip fit ..



Just what the Doctor ordered ...



Balanced the wheels and doing some of the checks ..



Mock up the right flywheel with jugs/pistons for a look at the pistons at bottom of stroke
Since this was a running stroker, not going to find much that needs attention in that area .. But, a looksee will go down none the less ..

The kiss is fine and dandy ..

[Dragstews]

Think I'll run the wires on the 52 like this ...




Single-Fire wires from Morris Mag ..

Cut em down ... Some Husqvarna Chainsaw boots and net a clean look ...

Yummy Glyptal...

[Dragstews]

Time to build a crank ...



Want to .. ??

Whatcha think .. 400 or 440 ft-lbs .. ??



There goes me knickers ..

[DoomBuggy]

Oh yes, may I have more please...

[Dragstews]

More did you say .. ?

Ok ...



Filled the primary lube feed port with JB Weld ..
Since a belt drive will be in play, no need for oil anymore ...



That adjusting screw for regulating oil flow to the chain is now along for the ride ..
Won't matter 1 iota where it's locked down at .. No oil will be getting into the breather vent ...

If a Fellow ever wanted to go back to a chain drive, could drill out the shi errrrr Dough ...
(Wouldn't do much good on this motor cause of the crankcase vent being moved to the right side case)

Loaded the S&S reverse rotation C.B. gear and set up the end-play ...



The Weird SS Dist. has perfect back-lash on the gear mesh ...

No chain oiler for me. Chain wax is much tidier (and handy around the shop).

Well Guys ... Y'all growing old with all these motor builds yet ??

Got another one coming to me soon ....

Just got off the horn with a Az. Boy .... He did a trade with his 55 Pan motor for (Get this) used Delkron Gen cases, new S&S Big Bore jugs/pistons & S&S 4-5/8" stroker flywheels, Oem crown Shovel heads which has been dual plugged .. And all the other parts to complete a motor ...

Be a 96 incher ... Those cases could handle 3-13/16" jugs easy enough (106 cubies)

Y'all wanta see that one go together ??

Oh yes, may I have more please...

Since ya did asked for it ...

You bet! Maybe start a new thread for the one tho...

[Dragstews]

You bet!

Been a long time since I built a Shovel or Pan over 100 ci ...
I'm going to do my best to get him to sell his S&S 3-5/8" Big Bore jugs/pistons (New stuff here) and buy a set of Axtell's 3-13/16" jugs ...

Speaking of Axtell, Ron' been in the hospital sick with Covid for a few months ..
His friends are keeping the shop rolling,

Shortie been there since Doc retired... And he's getting some age on him ...
... (Ain't we all) ...

Just my opinion, but I think he should let the shop take care of itself and go buy a .....



(Maybe not dat one, but y'all get my drift) ....

[farmall]

More motor builds? FUCK YEAH! More's the merrier.

Good score on the Delkron cases because though they have new owners there's not much happening (despite tons of toy money being spent this year and bike prices going nuts).
