SKU:10-1748
The V-Twin 10-1748 8-Finned Knucklehead Cam Cover is a chrome-finished replacement component designed for select 1936-1945 Harley-Davidson EL models. This Alcoa version features an eight-fin design that complements classic Knucklehead engine styling while providing a suitable foundation for restoration, repair, or custom motorcycle projects. The cover accepts 1/4-inch generator screws and may require modification for proper fitment during installation.
Before final assembly, cam cover bushings must be inspected, fitted, and reamed as needed. Final reaming for proper fit should be completed with the cover installed on the right-side crankcase, reaming from the left side. Check crankshaft end play and verify that all oil passages and oil feed holes in the bushings are clear. The tapered screw holes may require a deeper countersink; check the screw head before installation to confirm proper seating and clearance.
Generator mounting holes vary by model year. For 32E 6-volt, two-brush generators, pre-1957 models use 1/4-inch holes, while 1958-1969 models use 5/16-inch holes. Confirm the generator and crankcase configuration before installation, especially when using this cover with replacement or existing bushings. Careful inspection and preparation are recommended to help ensure correct alignment, lubrication, fastener seating, and reliable service. The V-Twin 10-1748 cover is suited to restorers and mechanics seeking a period-correct chrome cam cover for applicable Harley-Davidson EL applications.
