WARNINGRider and passenger safety depend upon the correct installation of this kit. Use the appropriate service manual procedures.

Improper installation of this kit could result in death or serious injury. (00333b)
NOTE
This instruction sheet references service manual information. A service manual for your model motorcycle is required for this installation and is available from a Harley-Davidson Dealer.
The Product Information Label contained in this kit is a requirement of the California Air Resource Board (CARB) emission regulation for all 2007 Touring models and 2007-2008 Dyna and Softail models. Place the label on the right side of the frame directly beneath the VIN sticker. This label is not required outside the state of California.
INSTALLATION
WARNINGWhen servicing the fuel system, do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks in the vicinity. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00330a)
NOTE
This Big-Bore Stage 2 kit is intended for High Performance applications only. Engine-related performance parts are intended for the experienced rider only.
The air cleaner contained in these kits is designed to perform with these kits only. Any other combination of components is not confirmed to be legal for street use.
Gaskets provided in the 1690 conversion kit eliminate the need for original head gasket O-rings. For this reason, DO NOT install the Original Equipment (OE) O-rings (11273) to the top of cylinder dowels, or severe engine damage may occur.
Big-Bore Cylinder and Piston Conversion
NOTE
Installation of this kit requires removal of the cylinder heads, cylinders and pistons. See the service manual for instructions.
High Performance Camshafts
NOTE
Installation of this kit requires removal and installation of the cam support plate. See the service manual for instructions.
Measuring Piston-to-Valve Clearance
After installing non-stock cams, check piston-to-valve clearance.
- Apply 1/8-inch (3 mm) layer of clay to crowns of pistons in areas where valves meet pistons.
- Refer to the service manual and assemble the heads and valve train, and tighten cylinder studs to torque specified.
- Turn engine through two complete revolutions by hand.
- Remove heads and measure clay at its thinnest point.
NOTE
Clay must measure 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) at its thinnest point. If this measurement does not meet minimum thickness, depth of valve notches must be increased. The depth of the notches must not exceed 0.135 inch (3.43 mm).
Measuring Valve-to-Valve Clearance
NOTE
Wait ten minutes before turning the engine after installing push rods. This allows tappets to bleed down and prevents bending the push rods or valves.
- Rotate the engine so that both valves of the front cylinder are partially open. Shine a light through the exhaust port and look through the spark plug hole to view the valves. Turn engine, if required, to the point where the exhaust and intake valve heads cross, where both valves are off their seats by an equal amount.
- A 0.040-inch (1.016 mm) clearance is required between the two valve heads. Use a 0.040-inch wire gauge (1) to measure this. To adjust the clearance, grind the edges of the intake and exhaust valves at a 45-degree angle (2).
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the rear cylinder.
NOTE
See Figure 1. If it is necessary after inspection to grind the intake and exhaust valves in order to meet the 0.040-inch (1.016 mm) clearance between the two valve heads, the margins (3) must be measured as follows: 0.031-inch (0.787 mm) minimum margin on exhaust valves and 0.015-inch (0.381 mm) minimum margin on intake valves.
Install New Pistons, Cylinders, and Cylinder Heads
- Assembly - Refer to the service manual for installing pistons, cylinders and cylinder heads.
High Performance Clutch Diaphragm Spring
- Disassembly - Refer to the service manual to remove primary chain case, chain, diaphragm spring retainer and diaphragm spring.
- Assembly - Refer to the service manual for installing diaphragm spring retainer, diaphragm spring, chain and primary chain case.
