This authentic replica cast cam cover from Motorshop is designed specifically for the 1936 Harley Davidson EL model, offering a perfect blend of vintage style and reliable fitment. Crafted with precision using exclusive tooling from V-Twin MFG, this cam cover features detailed castings that replicate the original 1937-1939 type with a cast-in baffle, ensuring an authentic look for your restoration or custom build. The cover is molded in Taiwan and includes bushings and a breather plate already installed, streamlining your installation process. It is essential to check the cam cover bushings and fit them (reamed) for a precise final assembly, along with verifying end play to ensure optimal engine performance. The oil passages and feed holes in the bushings must be clear for proper lubrication, and the tapered screw holes may require a deeper countersink—always check the screw head fit before installation. The inside cavity is designed to match the original specifications, and modifications such as adding two brass rivets on the outside can enhance the vintage appearance for an authentic Tedd Cycle look. Please note that the cover can also be used on 1936-1947 models with 61-inch and 74-inch Knuckleheads. When installing, final reaming should be performed with the cover mounted on the right side case, reamed from the left side for a proper fit. This cam cover is compatible with generator holes for 32E 6-volt 2-brush generators, with sizes varying between 1/4 inch and 5/16 inch depending on the model year. The product includes accessory items such as the 8-finned Knucklehead cam cover cast and a replica 1936 Knucklehead frame, making it a comprehensive choice for restoration enthusiasts and builders alike. Whether restoring an original or customizing your Harley, this cam cover provides an authentic appearance combined with durable craftsmanship to maintain the vintage Harley aesthetic.
