SE-258, 260, 259E, 263E, 266E, 585 and RX-267 cams cannot be used with original equipment (OE) valve springs. Coil binding will result. See the Screamin' Eagle Pro catalog for the proper valve springs to fit your application.

INSTALLATION
Preparation
WARNING
To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, disconnect battery cables (negative (-) cable first) before proceeding. (00307a)
WARNING
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00049a)
Disconnect both battery cables, negative battery cable first.
High Performance Camshafts
Installation of this kit requires removal and reinstallation of the cam support plate. Refer to ENGINE: BOTTOM END, Cam Support Plate, Removal and Disassembly/Assembly (Camshaft, Camshaft Bearings) in the service manual.
NOTE
Replace original cam cover gasket with new cam cover gasket (Part No. 25244-99A).
Measuring Piston-to-Valve Clearance
NOTE
After installing non-stock cams, check piston-to-valve clearance.
  1. Apply 3 mm (⅛ in) layer of clay to crowns of pistons in areas where valves meet pistons.
  2. See the service manual. Assemble the heads and valvetrain. Tighten cylinder studs to torque specified. Make sure that the pushrods can be spun with fingertips before rotating the engine.
  3. Rotate engine through two complete revolutions by hand.
  4. Remove heads and measure clay at its thinnest point.
NOTE
Clay must measure 2.032 mm (0.080 in) 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 3.43 mm (0.135 in).
If oversized valves are used, radial clearance must also be checked. Radial clearance of 1.27 mm (0.050 in) is recommended.
Measuring Valve-to-Valve Clearance
NOTE
Wait ten minutes before turning the engine after installing pushrods. This wait allows tappets to bleed down and prevents bent pushrods or valves.
10.040 inch wire gauge
245 degree angle
3Valve margins
Figure 1. Beveling Valve Heads
  1. Rotate the engine so both valves of the front cylinder are partially open. Shine a light through the exhaust port. Look through the spark plug hole to view the valves. If necessary, rotate to the point where the exhaust and intake valve heads cross (both valves off their seats by an equal amount).
  2. NOTE
    See Figure 1. If it is necessary after inspection to grind the intake and exhaust valves in order to meet the 1.016 mm (0.040 in) clearance between the two valve heads, measure the margins (3):
    • 0.787 mm (0.031 in) minimum margin on exhaust valves, and
    • 0.381 mm (0.015 in) minimum margin on intake valves.
  3. A 1.016 mm (0.040 in) clearance is required between the two valve heads. Use a 1.016 mm (0.040 in) wire gauge (1) to measure this distance. To adjust the clearance, grind the edges of the intake and exhaust valves at a 45° angle (2).
  4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the rear cylinder.
Return Motorcycle to Service
WARNING
Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00068a)
Connect both battery cables, positive battery cable first.
