How can I raise the oil pressure on my V twin?
Call Baisley Performance and get his oil spring upgrade for your camplate. This will raise your oil pressure somewhat noticable. Or…get the Screaming Eagle camplate and oil pump upgrade kit and run the Baisley spring in it and you will be shocked at your oil pressure at idle and hot.
When did the Harley Davidson Twin Cam V twin come out?
The Harley-Davidson Twin-Cam V-twin was introduced in 1998. Here’s a look at the technical elements and developments that allowed the 88-cu.-in. engine the increase power and reliability. The Axtel bypass kit bleeds the bypass oil out of the pump, keeping both the oil and the pump cooler and using less horsepower.
What’s the oil pressure on a 2007 V-twin?
Ok, I Google’d this and searched the forum and found out it’s not uncommon for the 2007’s to have a low oil pressure of 10psi at idle. But is anyone seeing 0 to 2 psi at idle, and is that common or particular to the ‘07’s?
