S&S Cycle 124 Twin Cam Style Assembly And Installation Instructions Manual - page 14
NOTE - S&S oil line, oil tank fittings, and oil conduit block
fittings have a larger diameter than OEM components.
CAUTION - Do not use the existing OEM oil tank
fittings with S&S oil line #50-8157. The OEM fittings are
not large enough diameter for the S&S oil line.
NOTES:
●
lnstallations must use supplied S&S oil tank fittings
instead of the smaller diameter OEM fittings.
●
Use only the supplied oil line to connect the engine to
the transmission oil tank. The supplied oil line is higher
quality and has a higher heat rating than common oil line.
The supplied piece is long enough for both inlet and outlet
oil lines. Cut as required
●
For installations using a transmission mounted oil tank,It
is easier to connect the oil hoses between the transmission
and engine by installing the Conduit Block after the oil
hoses have been attached to the transmission.
1.
After engine installation, position oil hoses as
they will be routed, and mark for length.
2. Trim hoses as required.
3. Slide all four clamps onto hoses. (Two clamps
per hose.)
4. Attach oil hoses onto installed oil tank fittings
and secure with clamps.
5. Slide both conduit block fittings into the oil
hoses
6. Seat new o-rings in grooves of oil conduit
block.
7. Secure o-rings in position with a dab of clean
grease.
8. Use 1/4"-20x2” hex head bolt to attach oil
conduit block to case. Tighten to 100 in.-lbs.
9. Secure hoses onto conduit block with clamps
CAUTION - Improper installation of oil lines or fittings
may result in parts damage not covered under
warranty.
3. Oil
recommendations
NOTES:
●
S&S Cycle suggests that the engine be broken-in using
a regular petroleum-based oil. It allows the required wear
patterns to form on mating parts for proper break-in.
Experience has shown that synthetic oils will not allow new
parts to wear enough in the break in process, leading to
glazed cylinders and excessive blow-by. After the 1000
mile break-in period, synthetic oil may be used. Follow the
same viscosity range, according to ambient temperature,
as a petroleum oil.
●
Whether using synthetic or regular motor oil, S&S Cycle
recommends it be formulated specifically for 4-stroke, air
cooled motorcycle engines. Oils intended for automotive
use may not contain additives needed to meet the
demands of air cooled engines.
●
S&S Cycle recommends the use of Harley-Davidson oil
filters, part numbers 63731-99 (black), or 63798-99
(chrome),or equivalent.
4.
Verify oiling system operation before starting
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.
Remove oil sender unit.
4. Turn ignition on and turn the engine over with
the starter motor until engine oil appears at the
oil pressure sender hole.
5.
Re-install and re-connect oil sender unit.
6.
Verify that engine oil is returning to oil tank.
7. Start motorcycle. Verify oil pressure by
watching oil pressure light.
