-1957-1967 XLs had the solid bar cam cover. ​((Monte03 of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​p=1284165#​post1284165)) \\ +**1954-1971 KH / Sportster Timing Hole Plug (704)**. \\ 
-1968-1970 had the finned looking cam cover. \\ +This plug was also used as an oil tank drain plug for 1958-1961, 1966-1978 XLCH and 1979-1981 ​XLH, XLCH, XLS Sportsters. \\ 
-You can interchange the covers if you are not concerned about the look of a stocker ​for your year bike (better resale trying to stay stock). +Threads: 5/​8"​-18 x 3/8" with 3/4" Hex Head. \\
-Also be aware that some covers had the round cut out for the electric starter ​XLH that came out in 1967. \\ +
-You can slap a cover on and wing itBUT the proper way is to have the cover line reamed when the motor is apart. \\ +
-(so the cam cover and the right case half are a match in tolerances. \\+

 +===== Access Covers / Cap Plugs =====
 +=== 1957-1970 XL/XLH and 1970 XLCH ===
 +**Oil Filler Hole Plug (34742-52A)**:​ \\
 +The plug cap is threaded for removal to add oil to the primary case. \\
 +The plug is polished and knurled with a small hole through the center and filter mesh staked in place on the inward side of the plug. \\
 +It screws into the hole in the primary cover with no seal. The small hole with filter mesh serves as primary air intake. \\
 +This hole allows air to come into the primary replacing what's lost to the crankcase from the transfer valve in the left case half. \\
 +It also serves to control the amount of vacuum built up in the primary case by way of intake air from outside the case. \\
 +The plug has a slot milled out across the face as a socket for removal/​installation and the tool is similar to and fits into the slot. \\

 +
 +=== 1971-1976 All Models ===
 +**Oil Filler Hole Plug (34742-71)**:​ \\
 +Changes made to the 57-70 hole plug include no knurling and now using a sealing O-ring (11106). \\
 +The plug cap is threaded for removal to add oil to the primary case. \\
 +The plug has a small hole through the center and filter mesh staked in place on the inward side of the plug. \\
 +It screws into the hole in the primary cover and seals with the installed O-ring. The small hole with filter mesh serves as primary air intake. \\
 +This hole allows air to come into the primary replacing what's lost to the crankcase from the transfer valve in the left case half. \\
 +It also serves to control the amount of vacuum built up in the primary case from outside air intake. \\
 +The plug has a slot milled out across the face as a socket for removal/​installation and the tool is similar to and fits into the slot. \\
 +
 +**Clutch Adjustment Hole Plug (37880-71)**:​ \\
 +This cap plug was introduced on the primary cover with the redesigned wet clutch models and installs over the clutch adjuster. \\
 +The procedure for clutch cable adjustment (as outlined in 1971-1972 Sportster owner and FSMs require the removal of the chain cover. \\
 +The MoCo revealed an easier way to make clutch adjustments by removing the access plug from the chain cover instead of removing the cover. \\
 +[[techtalk:​miscres:​miscres05|Click Here]] to go to the service bulletin page and scroll down to TSB #634 to view that PDF bulletin. \\
 +The cap plug is polished, has knurled edges and doesn'​t install flush with the cover. \\
 +The clutch adjustment hole plug also uses O-ring (11106), has no through-hole vent and has overlapping slots cut into the face in a "​cross"​ pattern. \\
 +No vent is needed in this cap since the oil filler plug has the vent controlling air intake. \\

 +=== 1977-1985 All Models ===
 +1977-1985 models use 2 identical hole plugs for the oil filler hole and the clutch adjustment hole. \\
 +It's looks the same as the 1971-1976 oil filler hole plug but it has no vent hole. \\
 +The primary now breathes from a rubber hose on the top rear of the transmission. \\
 +The plug went through a couple revisions but any of these will fit and function on 1977-1985 primary covers. \\

 +====== Gearcase / Cam Chest Cover ======
 +===== Cam Cover Gasket =====
 +**Make sure to use the correct gasket for your engine/​cover specifics**. \\
 +There were changes to the upper feed galley that dictate a specific gasket, especially between 1979-1982 models. \\
 +The upper oil feed galley was redesigned during the 1979-1982 and according to the MoCo, the gasket must fit the case design. \\

 +==== Shifter Shaft / Brake Shaft Hole Bushings and Plugs ====
 +**1952-1974 Cam Covers**: \\
 +1952-1974 K models and Sportster use shifter shaft bushing (34037-52) in both the right case and the cam cover. \\
 +This bushing is open ended for the long shift shaft to run through it. \\
 +Bushing (34037-52) App. Dims: \\
 +Bushing OD: 5/8" \\
 +Bushing ID: 1/2" \\
 +Bushing Length: 3/4" \\
 +
 +**1975-1976 Cam Covers**: \\
 +1975-1976 Sportsters use shifter shaft bushing (34037-52) in the right case and bushing (34037-75) in the cam cover. \\
 +As result of the Sportster going left side shift in 1975, the shifter shaft got shorter out of the right case. \\
 +The shaft end has linkages back to a crossover arm through the frame. \\
 +This bushing has one closed end which is installed on the outside of the cover. \\
 +Bushing (34037-75) App. Dims: \\
 +Bushing OD: 5/8" \\
 +Bushing ID: 1/2" \\
 +Bushing Length: 3/4" \\
 +
 +**1977-E1981 Cam Covers**: \\
 +1977-E1981 cam covers came with a different bushing (25594-75) for a brake shaft. \\
 +Starting in 1977, the shifter shaft exits out the left case and the old then shifter shaft location in the cam cover became the brake shaft location. \\
 +This was the brake shaft design from 1977-1979 (even though the rear brakes went hydraulic in 1979). \\ 
 +However, in 1980, the MoCo moved the brake operating lever to the trans sprocket cover so the hole in the cam cover was now useless (1980-1985). \\
 +Cam Cover Bushing Bore: .7450" ((Scott of the XLFORUM https://​www.xlforum.net/​forum/​sportster-motorcycle-forum/​sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/​ironhead-sportster-motorcycle-talk-1957-1985/​197504-cam-cover-swap?​t=2074151)) \\
 +Bushing (25594-75) App. Dims: \\
 +Bushing OD (before installing):​ .752" ((Dims from Robison Motorcycles)) \\
 +Bushing ID (before installing):​ .6250" ((Scott of the XLFORUM https://​www.xlforum.net/​forum/​sportster-motorcycle-forum/​sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/​ironhead-sportster-motorcycle-talk-1957-1985/​197504-cam-cover-swap?​t=2074151)) \\
 +Bushing Length: .625" ((Dims from Robison Motorcycles)) \\
 +
 +**1980-E1981 Cam Covers**: \\
 +In 1980, the MoCo used a rubber plug (25221-77) in the now unused brake shaft hole in the cam cover. \\
 +The brake shaft bushing was still installed presumably to allow later covers to be used on 1979 models. \\
 +The rubber plug inserts into the bushing. \\
 +The parts books (1980-1985) show the rubber plug sold for 1979-E1981 Sportsters. \\
 +As usual, that means they expected one to upgrade the 1979 system to the 1980 system. \\
 +
 +**L1981-E1984 Cam Covers**: \\
 +Once again a change was made in "how to plug a hole that goes nowhere"​. \\
 +There may have been some problems with the rubber plug falling out or other. The bushing and plug was deleted from the cover. \\
 +The hole was still there but threaded for metal plug (2506), 7/​16"​-14 x 1/2" hex socket bolt, which screws into the cam cover. \\
 +L-1984-1985 covers did not use a plug nor did they have a hole for a plug even though the parts books show the plug for L81-85 models. \\
