Crankcase Boring Preparation
NOTE
During final reassembly of the engine, Harley-Davidson recommends replacing the Original Equipment cylinder studs with Screamin' Eagle High Tensile Studs (16505-01).
1. Remove cylinder studs from the engine crankcase.
2. Mask off all bearings and oil holes to prevent debris and contaminants from entering those areas.
3. Inspect and clean engine case mating surfaces.
4. See Figure 5. Reassemble crankcase with original screws, except the top center screw between the cylinders. Tighten to specifications listed in service manual.
NOTE
To prevent damage to crankcase boring tool, it is important to replace the top center screw with a modified top center screw (1093). This screw is included in the Crankcase Boring Tool Kit (94419-06). This screw can be purchased separately from a Harley-Davidson dealer.
5. Install modified top center screw (1093) between the cylinders. Tighten to 50-90 in-lbs (5.6-10.2 Nm).

NOTE
To prevent severe engine damage, thoroughly clean and remove all chips and debris from the engine crankcase after boring.
  1. Disassemble crankcase and wash (or clean) chips and debris from engine crankcase halves as necessary.
  2. See Figure 2. Using a 11/32 in (8.7 mm) drill bit, drill out the existing threads of the top center screw hole. Drill to a depth of 0.79 in (20 mm) from the gasket surface.
  3. Using a size "F" in (6.6 mm) drill bit, extend the top center screw hole 1.00 in (25.4 mm) maximum to a depth of 1.79 in(45.5 mm) from the gasket surface.
  4. Using a bottoming tap (purchased separately) size 5/16-18 UNC-2B, tap the screw hole to a minimum depth of 1.59 in (40.4 mm) from the gasket surface.
7. See Figure 2 and Figure 3. Remove the thin material between the cylinders next to the top center screw as shown. Use a 5/8 in (16 mm) ball end mill and milling a 5/16 in (7.94 mm) radius at the two points shown.

2. Refer to the appropriate service manual and assemble the engine with the following changes:
a. See Figure 5. Install the top center engine crankcase screw (4) and washer (5), supplied in the kit but do not tighten now. Install and tighten the rest of the crankcase screws to the specified torque.
b. See Figure 5. Assemble top end of engine using the base gaskets (2) and head gaskets (3) provided in kit. Refer to ENGINE section in appropriate service manual.
c. See Figure 5. After the cylinders and heads have been installed and the hardware tightened to specification, tighten the top center crankcase screw (4) supplied in kit to 5.6–10.2 N·m (50–90 in-lbs).
