Installation
1.
Check valve guide to valve guide bore clearance.
a.
Measure outer diameter of a new standard valve
guide.
b.
Measure the cylinder head valve guide bore. The
valve guide diameter should be 0.0020-0.0033 in
(0.0508-0.0838 mm) larger than cylinder head valve
guide bore.
c.
If interference fit is within specification, a replacement
valve guide will be used. If interference fit is not within
specification, the cylinder head must be replaced.
2.
Measure cylinder head bore and outside diameter of
replacement valve guide to verify correct interference fit.
NOTE
Always use cylinder head support stand. Misalignment during
valve guide replacement will cause damage to cylinder head
valve guide bore.
3.
Prepare cylinder head for valve guide replacement.

NOTES
•
Check that valve stem to valve guide clearance is correct
before refacing. Refer to
. If new valve guides
must be installed, see
and complete that task before refacing valve
seats.
•
This procedure is not based on the lapping of valves. The
end result is an interference fit between the 45 degree
valve face and the 46 degree valve seat.
•
Obtain a new valve if grinding leaves the margin less than
0.0313 in (0.795 mm). A valve in this condition does not
seat normally, burns easily and may crack or cause pre-
ignition.
1.
Secure cylinder head for servicing.
a.
Thread 12 mm end of CYLINDER HEAD HOLDING
FIXTURE (Part No. HD-39786) into cylinder head
spark plug hole.
b.
Clamp fixture in vise. Tighten cylinder head onto the
fixture to prevent any movement during operation.
c.
Place cylinder head at a 45 degree angle or one that
offers a comfortable working position.
2.
To determine the correct location of the 46 degree valve
seat in the head, measure the width of the valve. Subtract
0.080 in (2.032 mm) from that number.
3.
Set your dial caliper to the lesser measurement and lock
it down for quick reference. This is the location of your
valve seat.
3-64 2013 Sportster Service: Engine
4.
Use a permanent magic marker to highlight the valve seat
area to be cut. Highlight all three angles. Allow marker to
dry.
NOTES
•
Clean the cutter blades and cutter pilot. The correct
cleaning brush is supplied with the Neway tool set.
•
Clean the inside of the valve guide with the VALVE GUIDE
BRUSH.
sm01528
Figure 3-65. Neway Valve Seat Cutter Set (Part no.
HD-35758-C)
5.
See
. Obtain the NEWAY VALVE SEAT
CUTTER SET (Part No. HD-35758-C). Select the correct
CUTTER PILOT (Part No. B-35758-52A). Securely seat
the pilot by pushing down and turning using the installation
tool supplied in the tool set.
6.
Choose the proper 46 degree cutter (intake or exhaust)
and gently slide the cutter onto the pilot. Do not drop the
cutter onto the valve seat.
NOTE
Do not remove any more metal than is necessary.
7.
Apply constant pressure. Cut the seat to a uniform finish
and to remove pitting.
NOTES
•
If the width of the clean-up angle is greater on one side
of the valve seat than the other, replace the valve guide.
•
After making the 46 degree cut, a groove cut completely
around the valve seat indicates worn cutter blades. This
condition can be corrected by staggering the blades.
Loosen all blades. Move each blade slightly in opposite
directions on the cutter. The tool needed to loosen the
blades is supplied in the tool set. A permanent magic
marker mark every 90 degree will help in determining
where new angles are.
8.
Lock a dial caliper to the predetermined setting. Measure
the 46 degree cut at the outermost edge at the widest
point of the circle to determine the next cut.
a.
If the 46 degree cut is too high (towards the combus-
tion chamber), use the 31 degree cutter to lower the
valve seat closer to the port.
b.
If the 46 degree cut is too low, use the 60 degree
cutter to raise the valve seat or move it away from
the port.
NOTES
•
Because you are using the top measurement of the valve
seat as a reference point, it will usually be necessary to
use the 31 degree cutter following the initial 46 degree
cut.
•
Always highlight the valve seat with the permanent magic
marker in order to verify the location of the 46 degree valve
seat.
9.
If the location of the valve seat is not correct, repeat pre-
vious two steps.
10. When you accomplish a complete clean-up of the 46
degree angle and the width is at least 0.062 in (1.575 mm),
proceed to the next step.
11. Select the proper 60 degree cutter and gently slide the
cutter down the cutter pilot to the valve seat.
12. Remove just enough material to provide an even valve
seat width of 0.040-0.062 in (1.016-1.575 mm).
13. Remove cutter and cutter pilot.
14. Repeat the process on any valve seat that needs service.
15. Insert valve in the valve guide and bottom on the valve
seat. Position the cylinder head port upwards with slight
thumb pressure against the valve. Fill the port with solvent
to seal the valve to the seat.
NOTE
Hold pressure against the valve for a minimum of 10 seconds.
If any leakage occurs, examine the valve seat for irregularities
or defects and if necessary repeat the above cutting process.
16. Clean valves, cylinder head and valve seats in solvent.
Follow up with a thorough wash in hot soapy water.
17. Scrub valve guide bores with VALVE GUIDE CLEANING
BRUSH (Part No. HD-34751) and hot, soapy water.
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)

NOTES
•
This measurement is heat sensitive. Both piston and cyl-
inder must be at room temperature. Holding the piston in
your hand for too long can cause measurements to vary
by as much as 0.002 in (0.051 mm).
•
See
. The measurement is taken on bare alu-
minum to avoid measuring errors. An oval-shaped opening
in the coating is present on each side of the piston for
placement of the micrometer.
•
See
. The oval openings are too small for a
standard flat anvil micrometer. Use a 3-4 inch blade or
ball anvil style micrometer, or a 4-5 inch micrometer with
spherical ball anvil adapters.
1.
Measure the piston skirt at the oval openings. Transfer
that measurement to a dial bore gauge.
NOTE

the desired finished size.
2013 Sportster Service: Engine 3-69
NOTE
With the torque plates installed, hone the cylinder from the
crankcase end of the cylinder.
2.
Use a 280 grit rigid hone followed by a 240 grit flexible
ball hone to hone the cylinder. Work for a 60 degree
crosshatch pattern.
Final cylinder bore sizes are measured after honing. Refer to
NOTES
•
When cylinder requires boring over 0.010 in (0.25 mm),
replace the cylinder.
•
Replace the cylinder if it is scuffed or grooved.
•
Use the original piston if cylinder bore was not changed,
Replace the rings. Hone the cylinder walls with a No. 240
grit flexible ball hone.
Failure to remove all abrasive particles may result in pre-
mature cylinder, piston and ring wear and engine failure.
(00537c)
3.
Thoroughly wash the cylinder bore with liquid dishwashing
soap and warm water to remove all abrasive particles and
residual grit. Continue cleaning until a clean cloth shows
no remaining dirt or debris.
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)
4.
Hot rinse the cylinder. Dry with moisture free low pressure

Fitting Piston Rings
See
. Piston rings are of two types: compression
and oil control. The two compression rings are positioned in
the two upper piston ring grooves. The dot on the second
compression ring must face upward. Ring sets are available
to fit standard and oversize pistons.
Piston ring sets must be properly fitted to piston and cylinder:
1.
See
. Place piston in cylinder about 1/2 in (13
mm) from top. Set ring to be checked inside cylinder,
squarely against piston. Remove piston and check ring
end gap with thickness gauge. See
.
NOTES
•
Always deglaze or hone the cylinder before installing new
rings.
•
Always use new piston rings. Piston rings take a set and
must not be reused.
•
Replace a ring if the end gap exceeds specification. See
•
If end gap is under specification, file the ring gap. Insuffi-
cient ring gap can cause ring breakage, cylinder scuffing
or piston seizure.
•
Ring end gap specifications are applicable to rings for
oversized pistons.

Reaming Upper Connecting Rod Bushings
NOTE
Sizing bushing with less than 0.00125 in (0.0317 mm) clearance
can result in a bushing loosening and/or seized pin in rod.
1.
Clean up and size bushing to 0.0010-0.0005 in (0.025-
0.013 mm) undersize using the CONNECTING ROD
BUSHING REAMER (Part No. HD-94800-26A).
a.
Carefully insert bit of reamer into upper connecting
rod bushing. Do not apply lubricant to reamer or
bushing. Ream the bushing dry or cut will not be
accurate.
b.
Install a 11/16 12-pt socket and T-handle on reamer
lug.
c.
Placing thumb on drive socket, apply slight pressure
on reamer while rotating handle/drive socket clock-
wise.
NOTE
For best results, do not push on reamer or apply pressure
to the reamer handle. While excessive pressure results in
a rough cut, bushing bore will be tapered if pressure is not
centrally applied.
d.
Continue rotating handle/drive socket until entire bit
has passed through bushing and shank of reamer
rotates freely in the bore.
NOTE
Never back reamer out of connecting rod or bushing will be
damaged.
2.
Remove T-handle and socket, and carefully pulling on bit,
draw shaft of reamer out of connecting rod bushing.
NOTE
Abrasive particles can damage machined surfaces and plug
oil passageways possibly resulting in engine failure.
3.
Using contact cleaner or cleaning solvent, thoroughly wipe
upper connecting rod and bushing of any metal shavings
or debris.
NOTE
Leave CONNECTING ROD CLAMPING TOOL installed during
bushing honing procedure which follows.
Honing Upper Connecting Rod Bushings
1.
Obtain the WRIST PIN BUSHING HONE (Part No. HD-
35102) and REAMER LUBRICANT (Part No. HD-39964)
to hone bushing to final size. Use a liberal amount of
honing oil to prevent damage to hone or bushing. Use
care to prevent foreign material from falling into the
crankcase.
a.
Install hone in a high speed electric drill.
b.
Apply reamer lubricant to finishing stones of hone and
inside of upper connecting rod bushing.
c.
Start finishing stones of hone into bushing.
d.
Activating the drill, move the entire length of the fin-
ishing stone arrangement forward and backward
through the bushing bore for 10 to 12 complete
strokes. Work for a crosshatch pattern of approxim-
ately 60 degrees.
NOTE
Abrasive particles can damage machined surfaces and
plug oil passageways possibly resulting in engine failure.
2.
Using contact cleaner or cleaning solvent, thoroughly wipe
upper connecting rod and bushing of any metal shavings
or debris. Continue wiping until a clean cloth shows no
evidence of dirt or debris.
3.
Lightly oil a good piston pin and insert it into the upper
connecting rod bushing bore to feel for the proper interfer-
ence fit. The pin should slide in and out of the bushing
without binding, but also without pivoting or rocking.
4.
Remove the connecting rod clamping tool.
5.
Remove shop towels exercising caution that shavings,
chips and other debris do not fall into crankcase.
Repair
If connecting rod is bent, do not attempt to straighten. Flywheel
and connecting rod assembly must be replaced. Straightening
3-74 2013 Sportster Service: Engine
connecting rods by bending will damage the bearing on the
crank pin and the piston pin bushing.

1.
Slide approximately 6.0 in (152 mm) of plastic tubing,
rubber hose or conduit over each cylinder stud to protect
cylinder studs and piston from damage.
NOTE
See
. Install XL pistons with the arrow on the top
and the side of the piston point toward the front.
2.
Install piston assembly over connecting rod.
3.
Install piston pin.
NOTE
You may wish to place clean shop towels over cylinder and
lifter bores prior to the next step, to prevent the piston pin lock
ring from falling into the crankcase.
4.
See
. Install
new
piston pin lock rings with the
PISTON PIN LOCK RING REMOVER/INSTALLER (Part
No. HD-34623-C). Make sure the ring groove is clean and
that the ring is fully seated in the groove with the gap away
from the slot at the bottom.
NOTE
Avoid damage to cylinder and piston. Always use new lock
ring. Clean lock ring groove and seat lock ring firmly in groove.
If it does not, discard the lock ring. Do not install a used lock
ring or a new one that has been installed and removed. A
loosely installed ring will come out of the piston groove and
damage cylinder and piston beyond repair.
