The process starts by taking your bike to your local Harley-Davidson dealer. The dealer removes the engine an ships it in a special container to the H-D Powertrain Operations in Wauwatosa, WA. The engine then goes through a five step program.
STEP 2 All reusable parts are cleaned. Paint is thermally removed from the heads and cylinders and a chemical process is used to clean small components. After inspection, the cleaned parts are powder-coated.
STEP 3 The powder-coated parts are machined, bored and honed, followed by another inspection of all machined parts.
STEP 4
STEP 5 The final step involves several tests to make sure the engine performs to H-D standards, incliding a live dyno run to check for correct oil pressure, leaks and sounds. This provides an initial break-in for the engine as well as quality inspection.
About two weeks after an engine is shipped to H-D it is returned to the dealer. It is installed with it's original VIN and a one year warranty. When you need a Harley engine rebuild, the one year warranty is a big plus over other choices.
Depending on your engine, prices start at $2,000.
