Typically 3.75 in. x 4.38 in. (95 mm x 111.3 mm) for Twin Cam 96.
Valve Train:
Overhead valves (OHV), 2 valves per cylinder, pushrod actuated.
Horsepower:
Varies by specific model and tuning, typically in the 70-80 HP range.
Torque:
Typically around 90-100 lb-ft at low RPM for Twin Cam 96.
Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI)
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline, minimum 87 octane.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 5,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Consult manual for specific intervals and oil type.
Primary Chain Tensioner Inspection:
Recommended inspection around 10,000-15,000 miles due to known wear issues on earlier Twin Cam models.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Generally every 10,000 miles or as per manual recommendations.
Engine Oil:
Harley-Davidson SYN3 Full Synthetic Motor Oil (SAE 20W-50) or equivalent meeting HD-8486-03 specification. Capacity ~4 quarts (3.8L).

Primary Chain Tensioner Wear:
Hydraulic chain tensioner on Twin Cam engines can wear out prematurely, leading to noise and potential damage. Replacement with updated or aftermarket components is common.
Cam Chain Tensioner Failure:
Similar to primary chain tensioner, cam chain tensioners can also wear. Lifter noise or engine knocking can be indicators.
Rocker Box Gasket Leaks:
Can develop oil leaks over time, requiring replacement of gaskets.
