Product Description

Introduced in 1936, Harley-Davidson's "Knucklehead" was the company's first production overhead-valve engine; it's the great-grandfather of today's Evolution engine.

The engine was just one of many innovations associated with the 1936-47 era, all of which are covered in Harley-Davidson Knuckleheads. Illustrated with beautiful new-photography and archival photos from the Knucklehead era.

World's Most Expensive and Sought After V-Twin 19 May 2001

By Kirk Perry - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This color-history book explains the unique oiling system of Harleys' first (intake and exhaust) OverHead Valve motor. Greg Field is one of the few authors that has access to Harley-Davidsons' detailed black and white "studio" photographs. The Knucklehead motor with those oil-filled lower valve spring covers and the utilization of internal suction created by the breather gear, is the epitome of "last minute" American engineering, that was developed in several stages. This book reveals the process. The Knuckle motor was a "runner" back then, and a "runner" today.
