So, I still haven't had time to really dig in, but few things:
Apparently this is the first time the motor company has both rubber mounted and counter balanced an engine, the current Twin Cam has a "B" version used in Softails which is balanced because they are rigid mount, the other models use rubber mounting and no balance. It is unclear if this will enable a single version of the engine to be used in all bikes.
Even the standard 107 has oil routed through the heads similar to how the twin cooled engine circulates water.
The engine has 2 spark plugs per cylinder, and individual cylinder timing control based on knock sensing (not sure if the latest TwinCam can do that or not).
Harley says the valves never need adjustment, which is probably good because there doesn't appear to be any way to do it....
Wondering if the Sportster gets a new design next....
