Author Message   Sweetfish89 Posted on Monday, June 28, 2010 - 11:49 pm:        Ok got my heads back from the shop and they look great. Started to replace the seals and gaskets. When I got to taking off the front jug I found that I only had one cylinder insert/dowel. Their were two on the rear cylinder and only one one the front. Is their only supposed to be one on the front cylinder?

I am sure if you go to any H-D(spit) dealer and ask for one for a Sportster they have 20 on the shelf. But what ever you do, do not under any circumstances tell them that it is for a Buell, because then all 20 will mysteriously dissappear.   Sweetfish89 Posted on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 09:45 am:        I'm not sure if it was in the head when I sent it to the shop. Do I need a specific year for the cylinder sleeve/dowel?   Dr_greg Posted on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 10:13 am:        I suspect that any Sportster dowel pin will work. OK, not actually a "pin", but... Regarding reassembly: it is straightforward, but there is a definite ORDER involved. Some parts must be installed while engine is rotated down. DAMHIK, of course. --Doc   Sweetfish89 Posted on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 10:25 am:        Well the only part of the motor that is still in the bike is the base. I took the jugs and everything above it off.   Choyashi Posted on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 07:24 pm:        I think 2007 on all sportsters use the thunderstorm heads? I replaced my rocker- cover seal with one from a sportster.....
