Twin Cam 88 engines - Manufactured beginning in 1999. The Twin Cam could possibly get its title in the fact it's two cams within the crankcase to activate the valves. At 88 cubic inches (1,450 cc) of displacement, it's the finest production Harley motorcycle engine, and it also produces 80 horsepower. The engine remains air-cooled, and uses overhead valves triggered by pushrods. The 88B type of the engine, which turned up in this region in 2000, includes counterbalancing shafts to lessen engine vibration.


Revolution engines - Manufactured beginning in 2001. The Revolution engine is presently put on just one Harley production model -- the VSRC. While all the engines formerly mentioned are largely exactly the same and represent incremental enhancements, the Revolution engine differs. This engine is water-cooled instead of air-cooled that is V position is 60 levels instead of 45. It's four overhead cams instead of two cams within the crankcase that is fuel injected. This engine is a lot more compact -- only 69 cubic inches (1,130 cc). It possesses a much shorter stroke, enabling it to rev to 9,000 Revolutions each minute, and it also produces 115 horsepower.
