Average Rating:

When replacing pistons or rings, or whenever you're rebuilding or overhauling an engine, always remove the ridge that forms at the top of the cylinder. The pistons and rings will suffer damage if the ridge is left in place when the engine starts up for the first time.

can cylinders/pistons be swapped out on an 84 ironhead sporster without removing motor from frame ?

and if so is there any tricks to it or other things i should be prepared for before i undertake the job? is it as simple as unbolting out and bolting in ?

Yes it can;if the heads are removed first,then the cylinders. it is easier if you can get the bike up about waist high. but I did it on the garage floor for years. I have a '76 apart right now in fact. have some clean lint free rags handy. as you lift the cylinder up but before you get it off the piston,stuff sthe rags around the rod. it will keep crap out of the case and keep the rod from dropping and breaking the piston.take the old cylinders to a machine shop to see how much they need to be bored,have them redo the heads too.the cylinders should be bored to fit the new ,oversize pistons.use a shop manual for sizes and torque values take digital pictures before you start ,and as you work so you know where everything goes later.Iron heads are simple just take your time.don't force anything assembly lube is a must, if you can't find any use 2 stroke motor oil on pistons and rings during reassembly it will burn off at start up. break the rings in easy.use new piston pin keepers(wrist pin lock rings). the direction the pistons face is in the manual also. check ring gap and make sure they are staggered. if you can't locate a piston ring compressor use a couple of large hose clamps and sheet metal just short of going around the piston to compress them. you could use your fingers and install it carefully,but if you twist them just a little they will break. check out 'the xl forum' for more tricks. good luck.
