NOTES

Install the pushrod covers and lower cover retainers before
installing cylinder heads. See

3.16 TOP END OVERHAUL:

ASSEMBLY, Tappet Covers, Pushrod Covers and Push-
rods

.

Thoroughly clean and lubricate threads of cylinder head
screws before installation. Friction caused by dirt and
grime will result in a false torque indication.

1.

Coat mating surfaces of cylinder base studs and headbolts
with parts cleaning solution.

2.

Scrape old oil and any carbon deposits from threads by
using a back-and-forth motion, threading each head screw
onto its mating cylinder stud.

3.

Remove headbolts from studs. Wipe or blow dry thread
surfaces.

4.

Thoroughly clean and dry gasket surfaces of cylinder and
cylinder head.

NOTE

XR 1200X: See

Figure 3-94

. The cylinder head gasket has

metal patches (2) that must be installed against the cylinder
head. When installing the gasket on the cylinder, be sure the
words "THIS SIDE UP" (1) and the metal patches (2) are visible.

5.

See

Figure 3-95

. Install a

new

head gasket to cylinder.

6.

Carefully lower cylinder head over studs and position on
dowels. Use great care so as not to disturb head gasket.

NOTE

Only oil film must remain on the cylinder head screw surfaces.
Too much oil will pool in the head screw sleeve preventing full
thread engagement.

7.

Lightly coat threads, underside of flange and bottom face
of cylinder headbolts in clean Harley-Davidson 20W50
engine oil. Wipe off excess oil.

8.

Start cylinder headbolts onto cylinder studs, two short bolts
on left side of engine, two long bolts on right. Tighten all
bolts only finger-tight at this time.

NOTE

The procedure for tightening the head screws is critical to
proper distribution of pressure over gasket area. It prevents
gasket leaks, stud failure and head and cylinder distortion.

9.

See

Figure 3-96

and

Figure 3-97

. In sequence, tighten

headbolts in the following steps:

a.

Tighten each bolt to 96-120

in-lbs

(11-14 Nm).

b.

Tighten each bolt to 13-15 ft-lbs (18-20 Nm).

c.

Loosen all bolts.

10. After headbolts are loosened from initial torque, tighten

bolts in three stages. Tighten in sequence:

a.

Tighten each bolt to 96-120

in-lbs

(11-14 Nm).

b.

Tighten each bolt to 13-15 ft-lbs (18-20 Nm).

c.

See

Figure 3-98

. Mark cylinder head and headbolt

shoulder with a line (1).

d.

Tighten each bolt an additional 85-95 degrees (2).

11.

gears. Incorrect spacing can damage gears and increase
gear noise.

Bushings in right crankcase serve as pilots for reaming
gearcase cover bushings and must, therefore, be reamed
to size first.

After reaming any bushing, check shaft fit in the bushing.
It may be necessary to make a second pass with reamer
to attain proper fit.

Cam Gear Bushings in Right Crankcase

1.

Separate two halves of crankcase, if not already done.
Place right crankcase on flat surface with gearcase side
up.

2.

See

Figure 3-119

. Position CRANKSHAFT BUSHING

PLATE PILOT (Part No. HD-38871) onto gearcase side
of crankcase. The upper right and lower left indexing holes
in pilot must be placed over dowels in crankcase. Insert
two bolts (supplied with pilot) through two remaining holes
in pilot, and into threaded holes of crankcase. Tighten
bolts securely.

3.

Insert a standard 11/16 reamer through pilot hole and into
bushing while turning reamer clockwise. Continue turning
reamer clockwise through bushing until smooth shank of
reamer passes through hole in pilot.

4.

Detach reamer from handle. Pull reamer out opposite side
of crankcase.

Compressed air can pierce the skin and flying debris from
compressed air could cause serious eye injury. Wear
safety glasses when working with compressed air. Never
use your hand to check for air leaks or to determine air
flow rates. (00061a)

5.

Thoroughly clean right crankcase, removing all metal
chips/shavings. Blow out all bushing bores and oil pas-
sages using low pressure compressed air.
