Charlie, when you get a chance you may want to introduce yourself under new member announcement.

So I might as well ask.

Charlie, what's your take on the 110 motors and the issues surrounding them?
You know, leaking cylinders and shifting cylinder liners.
Have you built any and how did they run?


Glad your here!

i have heard this rumor about the 110 cylinder issue, i have not seen problem as of yet. what is strange there are alot of 110 engines here in phoenix and with the hot temperature we should have really seen this to be an issue. is harley standing behind the problem? the only part of the 110 engines i have seen are the heads and think they have a good casting to work with. charlie

Charlie,

  I rebuilt this motor with heads, cams, lifters, rocker arms supplied by Wes Brown at Cycle Rama, Feuling Cam Plate, Feuling Oil Pump, CP pistons, S&S pushrods, Axtell Cylinders, HPI Throttle Body, Cometic Gaskets, TP Rocker Boxes...  I use a Power Commander.  The winter weather has prevented me from getting any dyno work done or and riding time on it...

Here is the finished product...

Charlie,

It's great to see you here. I always like reading your stuff on the Yahoo boards in years past. I look forward to hearing your input once again.

I too have had the leaky HG's replaced only to have the leak return. Still haven't done second repair yet.
