Read! Harley Davidson Engine Evo Evolution Shovelhead Star Motor Read! on 2040-parts.com
Decatur, Tennessee, United States
Please read whole description. This is a very rare motor that very few Harley "experts" even know about. In 1984 when Harley was shifting from the Shovelhead to the Evolution, some of the Evos were actually built FROM THE FACTORY on shovelhead cases with shovelhead flywheels. These motors can be identified by the stars stamped across the motor ID boss where it would be on a shovel, in front of the front lifter block. Some people call them "STAR MOTORS." The ID on these motors was moved to the left case under the rear cylinder. You can also tell it has heavy flywheels because of the distance from the case to the flywheel when you look through the timing hole. Has new cam, lifters, pistons rings, valve guide seals, etc. I built this one very mild for reliability and with low compression combined with heavy shovelhead flywheels, you can really get that cool, ka-thunk, ka-thunk idle the shovels are famous for. You just can't get later evos to do that, as their flywheels are eight pounds lighter....and before I get a bunch of scolding about low idle, low oil pressure, learn about roller motors before you comment. THE TOP END OF THIS MOTOR IS ALL FACTORY EVO. Rocker covers are replica Shovelhead only. They're $500 a set by themselves. I painted the cylinders black and with the contrast, it really looks like a Shovel. This motor will baffle even the most experienced Harley guys. I even called HD to get some info on how many of the early evos were built on shovel cases, but they had no answer...nor knowledge...because all they care about is Twincams, I guess. Please don't "know it all" me, but if anyone has RELIABLE info on these motor production numbers, let me know. Call 423 285 0050 with questions. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER ITEMS. I'm selling out of all my Harley stuff--lots of evo FXR/DYNA motors, frames, transmissions, etc.

Driven: Ford Focus
Wed, 23 Feb 2011The previous two generations of the Ford Focus have consistently been near the top of the European best sellers list over their combined 13-year life spans, but this new car has even greater responsibility. This is the first Focus designed – from the outset – for European, American and Asian markets combined. The biggest, most pertinent question is whether the global 'One Ford' strategy this car has been designed under can work in practice.
