Installing jugs finally but another Q
2007 883
Finally installing jugs and heads 
I don't see, in the FSM, that you install each head when its valves would be shut. Which makes sense to me.
So I guess it doesn't matter where pistons are, you just bolt them on? |

I broke off the nut on the left end of the mainshaft, in Sept.
So, had to replace mainshaft = disassembly of engine......
The cases are back together  Now I'm putting jugs and heads on.
Going OK so far. But it's been slow though. |

The crank/piston position makes no difference when installing the heads, that's correct.
However, it matters very much when installing the rocker boxes.
I know it's not our kit (at least I don't think so?), but common mistake #6 in our kit installation instructions applies anyway: http://www.hammerperf.com/ttinstallkit.shtml#mistake6 |

Even the boxes don't matter, if you have adjustable pushrods.

You have to position the motor to adjust them anyway. |

Who said it was wrong?
Although I could go down that path if you're interested ... but I was just pointing out that it gives no advantage, the motor is still going to need to get positioned correctly. |
