i need some advise  i have a softail 2010 with  70000km and desided to replace cams tensioners plate pump push rods etc  so i brought s&s  cam chest kit after pulling it apart i noticed  scoring on crank sharft pinion jornual more on one  side than other where it goes through camplate bush is this nornal on motor with these k's. i have owned  it since new and ride steady   i know about  murphy  but still why  does  it fcuking happen  to meeeeee all the time could it be the smoke and 47 beers cheers fxst

Yeah but what about the advice, professor

No idea! LOL

There will be some wear. After 70ks that's quite normal.

Some pics of camplate and crank from 2009 flht with 90,000 km before cam upgrade .... Crank runout was well within spec ...
Gave scoring marks a light going over with fine sand paper , (could not feel any indentations with finger nail)...  You will see pic where oil pump bolts to camplate, and has more scoring marks on one side than the other ,, that is normal, due to suction operation of the oil pump ....  I made decision to re use camplate ....

Thanks very much fatslim and markwoumla your info was very helpful.

thanks dynoharley for your feedback i'll check the crank runout  hopefully its all good stick the new cams in and ride the arse off of it    fxst
