Will 1584 Barrels fit onto my 1999 twin cam engine? They are from a 2007 engine!
I thought they were all the same but am sure that I will be corrected.

Before you worry about that make sure your '99 has had the recall!

TWIN CAM 88 Safety Recall for cam bolt breakageOn Friday January 8, 1999, the following message was sent by Harley-Davidson Motor Company to its Dealers. This is believed to be the exact and correct wording as written by Harley-Davidson. If you have further questions on this recall, Motorcycle Performance Guide recommends that you contact your local dealer for more information.

January 8, 1999 SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 095


Dear Dealer/Distributor:

Harley Davidson has become aware that on certain 1999 model motorcycles the engine cam bolt could lose its clamp loading and/or break. This condition could cause the engine to quit running with or without prior warning. In some instances the engine could run erratically before quitting. Certain 1999 model motorcycles equipped with Twin Cam 88 engines ( engines which were built from the start of 1999 model year production through September 27, 1998 ) are affected. To help you identify motorcycles please reference the crankcase number stamped on the left side of the engine. Affected 199 Twin Cam 88 engines must have a 99 stamped in position 3 and 4 and have numbers from 035 through 270 stamped in position 5 through 7.
Harley Davidson has voluntarily declared this a " defect related to motor vehicle safety" (Campaign 095) and plans to recall all potentially affected vehicles. A service bulletin containing complete details concerning this campaign will follow within 14 days. Owner notification, in accordance with NHTSA regulations, will follow the bulletin. In the interest of mutual customers, DO NOT SELL OR DELIVER any potentially affected motorcycles to your customers until the recall service has been performed. If you have sold any of these motorcycles, we urge you to contact the customers immediately to make them aware of this recall. All registered owners of affected vehicles will be notified by Harley Davidson to bring the vehicle in for recall service.

Cylinders are the same, The stroke is different.

So yes they will fit.

Make sure that they are correctly fitted to the pistons,

That's good news but what does the last statement mean?

[Phil]

It means that the pistons & cylinders need to be measured & matched.

[bikehunter]

Ok thanks, I'm having a s/e cam fitted so I will enquire if it can be done at the same time.

What's the affect on the capacity with TC96 barrels-and presumably TC88 heads?

[MadMax]

Nothing ... The TC96 barrels are 3.75" ID, same as the stock TC88's ..

[Limey_Dave]

Although the TC96 has a longer stroke,I think the 96 pots on a TC88 will still give you 95".
Another way is to get some S/H 88 pots and get them bored,properly,and do a straight swop.
