kilo3 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Probably winterizing them, been freezing at night and highs in the 40's, that's in F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted October 15, 2022 Supporting Member Share Posted October 15, 2022 Finally reached the 23.8K mile service, which I’ll just round up to 24K. I’ve never had the plugs out or valve cover off, so it will be interesting to see what we find. I feel like I should open an over/under bet on exhaust valve clearances… 😀 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted October 15, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted October 15, 2022 Nice shop, what engine is on the bench? I looked closer, Sportster! Be prepared to pull both cams and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoAl Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Nice shop hope you are the exception and everything is in spec. I've replaced my plugs twice in 19,000 miles and both times thought it was early. Now at 26,000 and in no rush to change them but not too hard actually.

peteinpa Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 To see some posted exceptions would be great....But my bet is on too tight exhaust clearances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's make a lottery out of it. Pick one for exhaust & intake Parameters Exhaust: All exhaust tight Or: 11 ~ 1 tight (11 choices) Intake: All intake tight Or: 11 ~ 1 tight (11 choices) Now what shall the winner take all prize be? 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock exhaust. Oil changed every 3K miles. Name-brand pump premium E10 (93 octane label). ‘Spirited use’ but not abused. Results to follow shortly… anyone else want to make a guess?

kilo3 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I'm going to guess everything on exhaust is tight, intake 2 tight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
