Well I settled with the insurance company for UltraCool. As you may recall their oil cooler lines failed and my engine ran dry. Damage showed up about a month and a half later. Crank scored so have to rebuild. Crate engine would have been cheeper but I decided to go with a complete rebuild and upgrade to a 103. Doc Weaver with Docs Performance Tune in Mineola FL is doing the build. Those of you who know who he is will agree that it will be perfect.
Build will include a pinned, welded and balanced crank. upgraded bearings, different cams and 103 cylinders. I also am having him upgrade the torque compensator to the SE part. He will re tune using the TTS tuner that i purchased from him nearly 2 years ago when he tuned it the first time. From what he says the increase in the numbers will be substantial over the old 96. my 96 was stock engine with v&h big shot long and k&n Breather. approx 73hp at wheel and 80 something ft pounds of torque. Will be up to 90 something hp and 110 or more ft pounds of torque. Balanced crank will make engine a little smoother.
Did not recommend high compression nor head work. I wont be using that kind of power, not going to race a heritage. I will be getting usable power. Well I am so looking forward to getting it back. For now im riding the sportster and the goldwing. I kept the sportster because it is or was so much quicker/faster than the Heritage but now im thinking i can part with it.
