Oil line installation Exhaust system Engine break-in Tuning guidelines Service intervals 3. Engine To Frame Assembly NOTES Please read these instructions carefully before starting work. Proceed with the installation only after the instructions are completely understood. These instructions should be supplemented by the appropriate OEM service manual for your motorcycle. Follow all safety information. 1. Introduction Installation can be performed by any repair shop equipped to do complete Harley-Davidson® engine overhauls. • The engine should be installed into the frame before the ignition, fuel, exhaust, and oil system components are installed. • The engine must be fitted to the frame it is installed into. It must rest squarely on its attachment points, and bolted solidly to the mounts without stressing the engine case at any point. CAUTION Failure to correctly mount the engine can cause problems not covered under warranty including but not limited to, excessive vibration, driveline mis-alignment, and broken castings. A. Clean frame engine mounts and carefully remove any irregularities from mounting surfaces. Also inspect crankcase mounting bosses for burrs. B. Position engine in frame, check for clearance at frame, and alignment to transmission. It is a good idea to replace rubber engine mounts at this time. Old mounts deform over time and can induce unwanted stresses on the engine case No special tools, other than those used in normal engine installation operations, are required. NOTES S&S® T-Series instructions often refer to procedures described in other S&S instructions or a Harley-Davidson® Service Manual. These materials should be cross-referenced as necessary. IMPORTANT Before proceeding, verify that serial numbers on crankcases match numbers on packing carton and certificate of origin. Contact S&S immediately if numbers do not match. CAUTION Improper alignment of engine and frame mounts may cause abnormal stresses resulting in damage to crankcases or other parts NOTE - Valid certificate of origin is required for any transfer or sale of longblock assemblies. Certificate of origin is required to title any motorcycle. 4. Fuel system installation and tuning 2. Modification Notes Modifying S&S engines in any fashion voids all manufacturer warranties. NOTES - S&S® Engine assemblies for 1999-’06 big twins do not include a fuel system. S&S T143 engines are equipped with S&S B3 Special Application cylinder heads which require a special intake manifold/throttle body or carb due to the shape and location of the intake ports. S&S offers a special 70mm throttle body and air cleaner kit for fuel injected applications, and carb kits for carbureted applications. Contact your S&S Customer Service Representative for details. A. Install fuel system. 1. Install carburetor or throttle body, fuel injectors, and intake according to instructions included with fuel system. B. Re-install and connect fuel tank. 1. Refer to appropriate service manual. Inspect fuel lines and clamps - replace as necessary. 2. Check fuel line connections and routing. Avoid hot surfaces. Make certain that the protective cover has been placed over fuel line, and that it is clear from sharp edges and abrasive surfaces. 3. Fill the fuel tank with a sufficient quantity of gasoline for the initial start-up procedure. 4. Double check that all fuel line connections have been made correctly and there is no gas leakage at any point in the system. NOTE - Modification includes but is not limited to appearance changes such as painting, powdercoating, plating, and polishing. Proper preparation for these procedures as well as the processes themselves may require the use of polishing compounds, chemicals or procedures that are potentially harmful to crankcases. CAUTION • Passages and internal cavities may become obstructed by residues from materials used to polish, paint, plate or powdercoat surfaces. Additionally, surface finishing processes can damage critical machined surfaces. Any of the above may cause premature wear, damage or failure of other engine components as well as the crankcases themselves. • Glass bead and polishing residues are abrasive and can be difficult to remove from recesses and small passages. Abrasive residues can cause oil contamination and extensive engine damage. Engine damage caused by powder coating, polishing, glass bead blasting, or other modification will not be covered under warranty. 5. Oil Line Installation Powder Coating - Subjecting heat-treated alloys such as those used in S&S crankcases to excessive heat can drastically alter their strength and their critical properties. The degree of change depends upon the temperatures reached and the duration of exposure. Under no circumstances should parts be heated past 400°F! 2 7. Mount the oil line block on the crankcase using 5⁄16-18 x 13⁄4” long screw (S&S PN50-0437)—do not final tighten as it will be removed again. 8. The next step is to measure and then cut the oil hoses. The straight hose connects the 90˚ fittings of the oil line block and oil pan. The bent hose runs between the oil return fittings on the oil line block and oil pan. See Picture 4, next page. 9. Remove the oil line block from the engine case. Install the supplied clamps (S&S PN 50-8293) on the lines between the fittings. See Picture 5, next page. 10. Install O-Rings (S&S PN 50-8066) in the counter bores of the oil line block. Position the oil line block on the engine case and tighten the screw to 18 ft-lbs. of torque with blue threadlock on the threads. See Picture 6, next page. 11. Position hose clamps over the fittings. 12. Refill oil reservoir. 13. Start engine and check for oil leaks. A. FOR 1999-2006 HARLEY-DAVIDSON® FL MODELS - OIL LINE KIT PN 31-0425 CAUTION Oil line installation is crucial to engine life. If you are not sure that you can properly perform this operation, please contact the S&S Tech Department for a referral to a shop in your area. NOTE: Installation instructions are based on an engine and transmission already in the chassis. NOTE: Apply thread sealant to all tapered pipe threads. 1. Remove the stock oil supply and return fittings from the transmission. 2. Install two supplied 3⁄8 NPT pipe plugs (S&S PN50-8330) in the oil fitting location. To Change Engine Oil in the Future 1. Slide hose clamp off of fitting along hose. See Picture 7, next page. 2. Place an oil drain pan under front of oil pan. 3. Remove hose from fitting to drain oil. 4. Reinstall hose and clamp. 5. Continue with recommended oil change procedure. NOTE: Apply thread sealant to all tapered pipe threads. 3. Remove crankcase vent fitting (S&S PN 50-0451) and set aside for later use. Install supplied vent fitting (S&S PN 50-0449 is for use with 2002-’06 with 7⁄16 ID vent hose or 50-0454 is for use with 1999-’01 with 3⁄8 ID vent hose) with O-ring installed on fitting. See Picture 1. 4. Install the vent hose and clamp (S&S PN 50-8293 or 50-8076-S) on the new fitting. NOTE: If an S&S engine or crankcase is to be installed in a motorcycle, which has had a catastrophic engine failure, or if for any reason it is suspected that debris or contaminants have been introduced into the oiling system, the oil pan must be thoroughly cleaned or replaced. In order to ensure that all debris is removed from the oil pan, the baffle must be removed . NOTE: The stock vent hose is reused in this step. 5. Position a drain container in front of the oil pan. Next, locate and remove the two plugs on the forward face of the oil pan allowing the oil to drain. Once the oil is completely drained, replace the 3/8” pipe-plug with a 90˚ fitting (S&S PN 106-1170). Position barb of fitting toward right side of bike at an angle slightly above horizontal as shown in Picture 2. Next, install the oil return fitting (S&S PN 50-0451) with O-ring (S&S PN 50-8008) in the drain plug location. 6. Remove cover plate that was shipped on crankcase from the bottom surface of the rear motor mount. The oil line block will be installed in this location. Assemble the oil line block by installing the 90˚ fitting (S&S PN 106-1170) and the oil return fitting (S&S PN50-0451) with O-ring (S&S PN 50-8008) into the block, as shown in Picture 3, next page.

Slide the oil feed line (S&S PN 31-0449) through the hole in the top cover closest to the oil filler/dipstick boss. Place a new top cover gasket (S&S PN 56-1261)on the transmission case and position the new S&S top cover on it. Rotate the oil feed line so it will pass through the 1⁄2" hole in the baffle. Be sure the bend in the oil feed line orientation is to the rear of the motorcycle. See Picture 10, below left. 8. Install the transmission top cover screws and washers according to Detail A. Use blue threadlock on the screws, but leave them loose at this time. See Detail A in exploded view of replacement parts for Harley-Davidson® Dyna® on page 7. 9. Remove the oil line retention plate, plugs and seals from the top of the engine crankcase. Remove seals from the plugs. Discard the plugs. 10. To install the oil lines (S&S PN 31-0447 and 31-0448), orient the ends and openings so they are parallel. Insert the lines through the oil line retention plates, then the included washers (S&S PN 50-0439) and, last the seals (S&S PN50-8271) on each line end. The ends of the lines should protrude through the seals about 1⁄8 inch. See Picture 11, below right. 11. Position oil line assembly on both the transmission top cover and crankcase and press down until lines are firmly seated in the counterbores in the crankcase and transmission cover. See Picture 12. FOR 1999-’05 HARLEY-DAVIDSON® DYNA® MODELS (PN31-0424) CAUTION Oil Line installation is crucial to engine life. If you are not sure that you can properly perform this operation, please contact the S&S® Tech Department for a referral to a shop in your area. NOTE: Installation instructions are based on an engine and transmission already in the chassis. 1. Remove the stock oil supply and return fittings from the transmission. 2. Install two supplied 3⁄8 NPT pipe plugs (S&S PN 50-8330) in the oil fitting location. NOTE: Apply thread sealant to all tapered pipe threads. 3. Drain the oil from the oil pan—see the proper factory service manual for instructions—and then remove the oil pan from the motorcycle. 4. Place the supplied template (106-1188) over the oil pan baffle and use a scribe to mark the location of the 1⁄2" hole as shown in Picture 8, above left. Use a drill press to machine the 1⁄2" hole as marked in Picture 9, above right. Use a small file or deburring tool to make sure no chips or pieces are left on the 1⁄2" hole and then clean the oil pan and baffle with solvent before reinstalling the pan with a new gasket on the motorcycle. Picture 10 Picture 11 6 1. Fill the oil tank to the proper level. 2. Remove spark plugs. Ground plug wires to cylinder head with either a jumper wire or through a test plug. 3. Turn ignition on and turn the engine over with the starter motor until oil pressure light goes off. 4. Verify that engine oil is returning to oil tank. 5. Start motorcycle. Verify oil pressure by watching oil pressure light. NOTES • If oil pressure fails to indicate within 30 seconds of starter operation, allow the starter to cool. Verify that oil line routing is correct and that the oil tank is full to the proper level. • Oil pressure indicator lamp should light when ignition is turned on. Lamp will go out after engine is started and there is oil pressure at the switch in the crankcase. Picture 12 CAUTION 12. Press the oil line retention plates into place until they seat. Install the two screws (5⁄16-18 x 3⁄4 button head, S&S PN 106-1178) through the oil line retention plates. First screw goes in the transmission top cover and the second mounts into the crankcase near the rear motor mount. Treat both screws with blue threadlock and tighten to 18-ft-lbs. 13.

Attach exhausts to lower mounting bracket. Shim if necessary. Hand tighten mounting hardware. 6. Tighten exhaust flange nuts at head to 60-80 in-lbs. C. Oil recommendations MOTOR OIL VISCOSITY TYPICAL AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SAE 20W50 ABOVE 30° F (-1° C) (RECOMMENDED FOR WARNING MOST APPLICATIONS) SAE 25W60 ABOVE 40° F (4° C) SAE 50 ABOVE 60° F (16° C) SAE 60 Above 80° F (27° C) In some instances, brake master cylinder must be spaced out from frame to clear crankcase. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD MASTER CYLINDER OR BRAKE LINE BE ALLOWED TO CONTACT EXHAUST PIPE IN FINAL INSTALLATION. Heat transferred to brake fluid may expand and cause brakes to seize, resulting in possible fire hazard and loss of control of motorcycle with injury or death to rider and others. NOTES • S&S® Cycle recommends the use of S&S V-Twin 20W-50 synthetic oil in our engines for normal operating conditions. See chart above for additional recommendations. • S&S Cycle recommends the use of S&S® oil filters, PN 31-4103 (black), or PN 31-4104 (chrome). • D. Verify oiling system operation before starting NOTE - Make certain that the exhaust system is not pre-loaded, or in a bind, at the lower mounting points. Make all spacing adjustments prior to final-tightening of the upper exhaust mounting hardware at the cylinder heads. Failure to follow this procedure may cause excessive vibration and result in failure of exhaust pipes or mounting hardware. CAUTION If engine is run with foreign material in the oil tank, engine damage will occur. Engine damage caused by foreign material in the oil tank is not covered under the S&S warranty. CAUTION Restricted oil flow may result in extensive engine damage not covered under warranty.

Engine Break-In seating as long as the calibration/tune keeps the AFR in control. Keep engine head temperatures below 225°F at the temp sensor or surface of the head. 5. After the first 50 miles on the dyno, it is recommended the normal break-in schedule be followed under normal riding conditions on the street. See Step 5 under BREAK-IN PROCEDURE. NOTE - Engines are designed for high performance and as such are not as tolerant of inadequate break-in as stock or lower performance engines. Correct break-in will assure longer engine life and will prevent unnecessary engine damage. Engine damage caused by improper break-in is not covered under the S&S® warranty. NOTES FOR COMPLETING INITIAL 50 MILE BREAK-IN AND INITIAL A. Initial Start Up and Break-in Procedure 1. For the initial start up, a baseline calibration for a T143 should be downloaded to the ECU (base tune files for S&S VFI system and Dyno Jet® Powervision® tuner are available from the S&S website) This is adequate for the initial start-up and heat-cycling of the engine. 2. Run engine approximately one minute at 1250-1750 RPM. DO NOT crack throttle or subject to any loads during this period as head gaskets are susceptible to failure at this time. During this time, check to see that oil pressure is normal, that oil is returning the oil tank, and that no leaks exist. 3. Shut off engine and thoroughly check for any leaks or other problems. Let engine cool to the touch. 4. After engine has cooled, start up again and allow the motor to build some heat. Engine should be run no longer than three to four minutes. When the cylinders become warm/hot to the touch (approximately 150°F) shut the motor down and let it cool to room temp. Follow the same cautions as for the initial start-up, and continue to check for problems. 5. First 50 Miles: 6. Street: Ride normally, do not lug the engine. Avoid high heat conditions and vary the RPM while riding. No stop and go traffic, extended idle periods, or high load or high RPM conditions. Max of 3,500 RPM or 60 MPH. 7. Dyno: A chassis dynamometer can be used to put the first 50 miles on a new engine. See the notes and procedure below for chassis dyno break-in. 8. 50–100 Miles: Ride normally, do not lug the engine. Avoid high heat conditions, no stop and go traffic or extended idle periods. Limited short bursts of throttle can aid in ring seating from this point forward during the break-in, but avoid continuous high speed or load conditions. Max of 4,250 RPM/70 MPH. 9. 100–500 Miles: Avoid lugging the engine and high heat conditions. Max of 5,000 RPM. Change oil at 500 miles. 10. 500–1,000 miles: Ride bike normally, but avoid continuous high load operation and high heat conditions. 11. From 1,000 miles on: Break-in is complete, enjoy! TUNING ON A CHASSIS DYNO • When running the bike on the dyno it is critical that engine temperatures are monitored, AFR is kept between 12.5–14.7 and the engine is not overheated. Fans must be used to keep the engine cool. When tuning under higher loads stop regularly and allow the engine to cool. • A load must be placed on the engine to properly seat the rings. Running a new engine continually with no load will result in cylinder glazing and poor ring seal. The engine should be loaded to simulate close to the weight of the bike, a load of 10–15% on a Dyno jet 250i is usually sufficient. It is not recommended to use an inertia only dyno to break-in an engine as no load can be placed on the engine. • Initial tuning on the engine can be completed during the initial 50 miles of dyno break-in. It is recommended the engine be run on the street for a minimum of 500 miles prior to completing tuning at full power. Monitor engine temperature during tuning to ensure the engine is not overheated. GENERAL BREAK-IN NOTES B. Dyno Procedure for the first 50 miles 1. Follow the same procedure outlined above for initial start-up and heat cycling the engine. 2. Run the bike for 25 miles on the dyno under varying speeds and loads while going up and down through the gears. Keep engine RPM below 3,500 RPM but do not lug the engine. The dyno must be operated so the engine runs under a load roughly equal to the power needed to move the bike down the road, this would be about 12 hp at 55 MPH. Keep engine head temperatures below 200°F at the temp sensor or surface of the head. Stop and cool the engine if needed. 3. Allow the engine to cool down to room temperature. 4. Run the bike for 25 more miles (50 miles total) under varying speeds, loads, and gears as before. Make sure there is some load on the engine. Keep engine speed below 4,250 RPM but do not lug the engine. Limited short bursts of throttle can aid in ring • Remember that these are air-cooled engines. Sufficient air movement is required to keep engine temperatures within safe operating limits. • Avoid heavy traffic and congestion or extended idle periods whenever possible. • S&S v-twin performance engines are designed for, and happiest when running between 2750-3500 at normal highway speeds. • Today’s heavier bikes and taller gearing can easily push a high performance engine into a lugging condition which increases loads on engine components, causes detonation, builds excessive heat, and increases fuel consumption. If the engine does not accelerate easily when given some throttle, downshift to a lower gear. • S&S engines benefit from a warm-up period any time they are started, allow engine to reach operating temperature before being subjected to heavy loads or quick throttle revs. CAUTION Lugging or running engine prematurely at sustained high rpm may result in damage to pistons and other engine components. S&S voids it’s guarantee if engine is not broken in properly. 9 8. Tuning Guidelines 9. Service Intervals Ignition timing and fuel injection tuning are responsibilities of the customer. If not thoroughly familiar with these procedures, contact a professional mechanic. S&S® RECOMMENDED REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS Exhaust Systems Muffled exhaust systems. The S&S T143 engine comes with S&S B3 Special Application cylinder heads. Due to the unique exhaust port configuration, stock Harley-Davidson® exhaust pipes will not fit, and a special exhaust system is required. An exhaust system specifially for the T143 engine is available for some models from S&S Cycle. There are also components available to help you build your own exhaust system. See below, or contact your S&S Customer Service Representative for more information. Drag pipes While drag pipes can be used with good results to achieve top end horsepower, they are generally not recommended for low and midrange power applications. Fuel injection calibration is generally easier for engines with muffled exhaust systems. A. Gearing Gearing depends on the total weight of the machine and rider, the size of the engine, cam, exhaust system and type of riding. Most high performance engines, and particularly those with larger displacements, are capable of pulling more gear. We suggest you break the engine in with stock gearing to minimize the load on the engine. After the engine is broken in, you will have a better feel of its potential and can change gearing accordingly. ITEM INTERVAL Engine Oil & Filter Change at 500, 2,500 miles, and every 2,500 miles thereafter.1 Air Cleaner Inspect at 50 and 500 miles, every 2,500 miles thereafter.2 Petcock, Lines, & Fittings. Vacuum Lines Inspect at 50 and 500 miles, every 2,500 miles thereafter. Fuel Filters Every 5,000 miles. Engine Idle Speed Adjust as required. Throttle & Enrichment Device Control Inspect and lubricate throttle cables at 500 miles and every 2,500 miles thereafter. Spark Plugs (Champion RA8HC or equiv.) Inspect every 5,000 miles.
