A Workshop Guide to Harley-Davidson’s Evolution V-Twin

Organized by engine subassembly, Chris Maida’s manual covers EVO V-Twin maintenance, rebuilding, and performance modifications. Its practical scope ranges from individual jobs—such as fitting a camshaft or top-end kit—to complete engine assembly. The described sections address the bottom end, gearcase, cylinders and pistons, and cylinder heads, including topics such as oil-pump alignment, ring gapping, clearances, porting, and valvetrain setup. Step-by-step photo sequences and specifications are presented as working references for tasks at different stages of an engine build, making the book’s structure useful for consulting a relevant chapter at the workbench.
