Customer complaint of engine noise on 04 Softail. Jim pulled and check lifter and cams to check out. After further inspection found exhaust valve got a “little” hot. Also check ET sensor and how melted it was. Sorry about pic quality on some. These cheap cameras suck! That guy must have left the bike on idle for a week!!! Obsessive compulsive idler!

I’m pretty sure that exhaust seat is not supposed to be moved away from the head like that. Oops.
