   * In 1983, the Moco raised the compression ratio (8.8-1) with a new piston design (.040" higher crown surface) ((HD Service Bulletin #M-856 dated August 6, 1982)) and the use of the earlier style thinner head gasket. This higher compression ratio along with a new two stage ignition system (VOES), provided increased performance while allowing the use of leaded regular grade gasoline.

-  *  Part of this performance upgrade, (beginning with crankcase number ​783), was the introduction of new style intake and exhaust valve guides for XL 1000cc engines along with new (flat) lower spring collars and longer inner and outer springs.

     * The longer springs provide increased spring tension. __But__, the new lower spring collars (18220-83) and longer springs can only be used with the new style valve guides. The new springs were identified as having red or orange paint on several springs.     * The longer springs provide increased spring tension. __But__, the new lower spring collars (18220-83) and longer springs can only be used with the new style valve guides.

     * The new style (shoulder-less) valve guides were also used for service replacement of the old style guides on all 1000cc engines and do allow the use of all old valve train com­ponents. Because the new style valve guides do not have a shoulder as the old ones did, a special valve guide driver (HD-33871) must be used to control the guide installed height.     * The new style (shoulder-less) valve guides were also used for service replacement of the old style guides on all 1000cc engines and do allow the use of all old valve train com­ponents.

 +The new lower spring collars, inner and outer springs can be used only with the new style shoulder-less valve guides.
 +The new lower collars and new valve springs must be used together to properly locate the  valve springs ​ and prevent the possibility of coil bind.
 +If replacement valve springs or lower spring collars are needed on models with old style, shouldered guides, the old springs or spring collars should be used.  ​
