Gentlemen, I've done shovelheads and flatheads but please bear with me as this is my first panhead. I'm very meticulous about keeping parts in order and when I disassembled the heads, oiler parts #18100-49 and #18102-49 were at the exhaust valve. Did some one assemble it wrong in the past? Or is my parts manual wrong as it states intake valve oilers? Thanks for your help & time, Lloyd

17611-48, 17614-49 & 17615-49 rocker arm bearings , as listed in the parts book. From my dictionary, bearing [bair-ing]; In Machinery. the support and guide for a rotating, oscillating, or sliding shaft, pivot, or wheel. Not all bearings are ball or roller bearings.Brian Howard AMCA#5866

As with a lot of mechanical items the common name is not what is listed in the book. Your reference to rocker blocks as bearings assures us of that. While politically correct the term bearing is confusing to old farts.Be sure to visit;

Don't feel bad Chris, the other year when H-D switched to "parent material bearings" for their outboard cam supports. We had to see a motor torn down to figure out they meant they eliminated the bronze bushings and were now running the cams in holes bored in the aluminum plate.Brian Howard AMCA#5866
