This is a short and super-sweet announcement. Not only
did JIMS develop an American Made, kick-ass twin cam Monster
engine configuration with 131-inches of power, but it's
approved by the factory and available through your local
dealership. Hang on, there's more. They also developed a set of
crankcases to allow any rider to install a 131-inch Twin Cam
JIMS engine in an Evo frame back to 1991. Incredible.
Following are all the specs and info:
EVOLUTION MOUNT TWIN CAM RACE ENGINE
JIMS R&D Department has developed 131” and 120” Twin
Cam Race Engines that bolt directly into Evolution motor mount
style frames. Now the reliability and performance of Twin Cam
technology is available for most OEM Harley-Davidson
applications back to 1991, as well as most custom frames for
Evolution engines.
Engineering
Valve Train: Valve train loads are much higher in a
racing engine like the JIMS 131” or 120” than a stock Harley
engine. Cam lobe designs are more aggressive with higher lifts
and acceleration rates. Valve springs must have higher rates and
seat pressures for reliable control. And, these heavier, stiffer and
more aggressive parts must run at high rpm. JIMS has been
developing and manufacturing racing-quality valve train parts
for decades and is using this experience in the JIMS Race
Engines Kit.
Tappets: JIMS manufactures its proven PowerGlide II
tappets to very high standards of fit and finish. The very close fit
between the tappet body and hydraulic unit ensures that the
tappet stays pumped up under the stresses of high rpm use.
There is no higher quality tappet.
Rocker Arms: JIMS Roller Rockers overcome another
racing valve train difficulty – side loads on valve stems and valve
guides. High rpm and heavy valve spring pressures can result in
high side loads which; in turn, accelerates wear. JIMS roller-
equipped rocker arms reduce this loading.
Connecting Rods: JIMS connecting rods are
enormously stiff, strong and reliable. They are forged from race-
proven SAE 4340 steel. Every surface is then machined in CNC
work centers to ensure that both static and dynamic balancing
meets engineering design standards. The various heat treat,
machining and grinding procedures are carefully followed by
JIMS dedicated and independent inspection team to ensure the
highest quality final product. JIMS also has exclusive use of the
standard Harley-Davidson crank pin and crank pin bearings.
These are the highest quality connecting rod bearings available.
Timken Bearing: JIMS uses the traditional Timken
tapered roller bearing assembly on the left side of the JIMS
engines. This bearing is more tolerant of the crankshaft flexing
that is normal at high rpm. Experience in the field indicates that
this traditional Timken back-to-back set is more durable.
Engine Cases: The JIMS Race engine cases are
stronger, tougher and more versatile than a stock engine case.
We didn’t simply add metal here and there. We considered the
greater load requirements of the larger racing engine and
designed accordingly. Our case set has thicker walls, stronger
stud bosses and, larger radius corners.
131″ TWIN CAM RACE ENGINE
The 131"
features the same stroke as the JIMS 120" at 4-1/2”, but carries
a larger bore diameter of 4-5/16". JIMS R&D Team has added
many new features to further enhance the performance of this
engine. The first step was to increase air intake into the 131”
with CNC Ported Heads which were developed to flow air
effortlessly. Next, we upgraded the oil pump to the high flow
design found in all current production Harley-Davidson Twin
Cam Engine
Throw in a brand new JIMS Billet Cam Support Plate, which
utilizes the new Harley-Davidson
hydraulic cam chain tensioners, and finish it off with the latest in
high-performance tappets, JIMS Powerglide II. As always, power
delivery is as smooth off the bottom end as stock, with a wide
powerband of roll-on punch. These enhancements, plus
130HP** and 135ft-lbs** of torque, take the 131” to an
unmatched level of performance and reliability.
Here's the 131-B balanced configuration for
Softails.
