1972 XLCH Ironhead: Oil Pump and Breather Timing #xlch #ironhead

Onto the reassembly part. Mockup time is over, let's start throwing parts on this thing and get it back together. Flywheels are in, cam bearings are in. Pulled the motor from the frame and re-gasketed the oil pump, which means taking it apart. Sorry for no audio on the oil pump, but I tried explaining the steps as I go through it in the timelapse. Don't forget to TIME YOUR BREATHER! Here's how I did it. I left the pinion gear in, which makes it a bit more challenging, but it is doable. Enjoy. #ironhead #choppers #xlch #xlh #sportsters #sportster #harley #harleydavidson
