It’s been awhile since I posted anything. Don’t worry, I’m still alive and wrenching. In the last couple of years I have realized one thing with evos, twin cams, and M8s. At or before 30,000 miles, change your lifters. This one clocked in at 32,000. We caught it before the roller exploded, which saved a complete engine rebuild. But, the front cam was damaged enough that I had to replace both. I can’t stress this enough, CHANGE YOUR LIFTERS!!!

And if you hear a louder than normal valve train noise, shut the bike off and call for a trailer. I figure a few more miles and this could’ve been a lot more expensive.

Hopefully in a few more weeks, I’ll see you all on the road.🤘

Moving right along. For being 41 years old, this motor looks good. Now that I know what I need, it’s time to get the parts ordered and re-assemble.

So it begins……. 1984 Shovelhead.

After much deliberation, discussion and deep thinking. I have decided to close the doors on Opie’s Garage LLC. As long as I can still turn a wrench, there will always be an Opie’s Garage, but it’s gonna be a much smaller and personal experience. I have discovered that as a business man, I make a pretty good mechanic. Dealing with over-head and scheduling have just become more work than I want to deal with. All warranties are still in effect and I will honor them personally. This page will be open, plus my personal Facebook. Most of you have my personal number anyway. Don’t be afraid to reach out if you have a problem. I have met some great people over the last few years. I’ve made many friends from those people. Keep riding and I’ll see you out there.

From a 1989 Evo I’m currently restoring. Bottom cam is stock. Top cam is the Andrews EV27. Not much difference in lift but look at that duration. Almost twice as long. In my opinion Harley made their best engine when they created the Evolution. Andrews made it perfect with EV27 cam.

Have an Evo you want to bring to life? Bring it to Opie’s Garage. We love Evolutions!

With a lot of help after my latest episode, I was able to finish my latest build. 2019 Street Glide Special. S&S 475 cam kit, complete with cam plate, oil pump, and lifters. Fuelmoto Level Z plus 1 CNC ported heads. 121” Wiseco pistons. TAB performance exhaust. S&S air cleaner and 55mm intake manifold. Topped off with a ThunderMax ECM. To keep everything under control I added a Barnett Scorpion clutch with a clear derby cover.

This thing pulls like crazy and is fast!! Thanks to Cody Gibson for the oppurtunity to build this beast

Special thanks to my wife Christie Strahl. She did all the heavy lifting. I am not allowed to do much with the heart condition. You’re the best honey!

MSRP for the Drag Specialties is $146.96
MSRP for the High Performance is $185.95
MSRP for the Premium is $246.95

We are an approved Part Unlimited/Drag Specialties dealer. We can get almost any product for you from Harleys to metrics, street, dirt, 4 wheelers, and side by sides. We also offer helmets and riding gear. Shop local and probably save money compared to the online retailers. Most items can be received at our shop in 2-3 business days and we can also drop ship directly to you for a $20 fee.

Area shops can reach out to us for a commercial/business discount.

Just a few observations from a recent job.

The first picture is inner cam bearings. The one on the left is stock. The one on the right is a much improved aftermarket. Notice there are twice as many rollers in the aftermarket? That’s why they hold together so much better.

The second picture is of a couple of solid push rods. The one on the left is stock Harley. The one on the right is from Feuling. The Feuling rod weighs almost twice as much as the stock. Much more beefier.

If you’re getting into the cam compartment, these are 2 relatively cheap improvements I highly recommend to extend the life of your motor. Both are available through our dealership cheaper than anywhere else.
