Harley Ignition Systems - 929 days old
Twin Cam engines fire both plugs at the same time but only one plug is in a position to fire a fuel charge and make power with it as opposed to a single fire system where each plug is fired independently of the other at the proper time in the compression stroke.
Single fire systems use one coil to fire both plugs as compared to... Read more

Head Breather - 306 days old
Here's a breakdown of a head breather in the TC engines.
Part #4 (umbrella valve) is the usual problem when it becomes hardened with age and allows oil to leak into the air cleaner housing instead of blocking the path so the oil returns to the lower case.

Valve Noises - 356 days old
After a cam upgrade or roller rocker installation there's sometimes noises that weren't present prior to doing the upgrade.
Something to check into is the clearance for the valves in the upper end. Some higher lift cams or larger valves run into a problem in the cover or the lower section. The TC engines have the two piece cover.
