Steve J asked: "What is a shovel?" The pre 1986 Harley engines were described as to the appearance of the top of their engines. The top end of the knucklehead had 2 knuckle like ends where the valve gear went, the panhead had a pan type cover and the top of the shovelhead looked like a shovel

Oil is actually pumped from the sump to the filter then back to the tank and then to the engine by an oil pump located on the right (as you sit on the bike) side of the engine just behind the cam cover. Doug I've worked on were jappas, but I'm pretty certain the lubrication is pumped through the

I have but can't seem to find out what they weigh or the torque and horsepower figures. The Honda Valkrye would also be a fine candidate as I believe they use the same engine. Any motorcycle salvage yard would be an excellent place to look. Doug Rupert Anyone ever consider the goldwing 1500 or

Excellent post Larry. The vibration is still there and will remain as long as Harley stays with their patented 45 degree V-twin. That angle is the only reason the Japanese bikes will never be able to copy the Harley sound. Now S Company in Viola Wisconsin builds some monster Harley motors in the

As a biker for over 30 years legally and more otherwise, there is no way I would put a Harley engine in an airplane. You want a dependable engine in there and NONE of the Harleys are that. Even the new one was brought out with a KNOWN oil lube problem to the valve train, and they introduced

Doug said: "Seems that low end torque at lower rpm's would be ideal for aircraft applications." That's what gave me the idea it would be a great engine. to redrive or not to redrive, that is the question, seems that same discussion is being bandied about with the Corvairs too. I notice that some

I did consider running an inverted EVO as my engine, it's already dry sumped, it can run direct drive to the prop and will generate sufficient horsepower ++ Hey Pete - what is an EVO? I would have assumed that it was a Hog engine but you mention a dry sump. Steve J

Anyone ever consider the goldwing 1500 or 1800 engine, it would need a reduction unit and of course it's water cooled, but it may be an alternative to the subbie. On Mon, 5 Jul 2004 03:25:01 +1000 "StRaNgEdAyS" writes: > Steve J.: > The EVO is short for the H.D.
