Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key steps involved in Dragon Man's 'Rebuild Your Own Motor' package for Harley Davidsons?

The 'Rebuild Your Own Motor' package includes boring cylinders, performing a two-angle valve job, replacing case bearings and races, balancing flywheels, rebuilding connecting rods, and assembling the lower end. Customers then install the heads, barrels, adjust push rods, and attach the manifold and carburetor.

How should I pack my Harley engine parts when sending them to Dragon Man's machine shop?

Pack heads and barrels securely. Each head should be in its own cardboard box, and these should be placed inside a larger shipping box. For fragile cast iron parts like knuckleheads, use two separate boxes within one larger box to prevent damage.

What are the cost-saving options available for a Harley engine rebuild?

You can save money by reusing existing parts like valves (re-cutting saves $85) and valve guides (if they have no play, saves $80). Reusing a good crank pin is also an option. Opting out of glass beading for cases can save an additional $45.

What components are included in the premium $1200 Harley engine rebuild deal?

The $1200 deal includes new stock compression pistons, new seals for cam cover and sprocket shaft, new pin and shaft, Torrington bearings, new cam bearing, new Timken bearings, stainless steel nitrated valves, Amco night valve guides, Teflon seals, James gaskets, and a high-quality crank pin.
