vintage 2 strokes lol there prob only about 59 of them left. lol jk i have restored a few

Me too Ashley...great orator and just full of facts...doesn't spend 15minutes showing how he took the covers off... I want the info, and I want it NOW !!! ... LoL

On my 80 inch EVO, the intake push rods are shorter than the exhausts by about 1/8 inch. 2 different sizes.

The best sweet spot on the stock Harley lifters is the garbage can.

@@goodboyringo9716 the dudes asking an honest question why you gotta be like that

@@tommys2979 ... This is my opinion about Harleys . I didn't say anything out of the way . if you don't like it to bad. Stop being a cry baby.

@@goodboyringo9716 so which brand of lifter do you suggest?

@@Jkur2009 ... S&S lifters

No you should not need to.

That SPRING would not have Done That.. You Adjusted one or Both Lifters Slightly on the LOBE.. Not to Worry ive Seen this Many times.. GOOD LUCK. 👍

They have like 14 different lifters. The naming and part numbers couldnt be more confusing over the years and i've lost track as to what the hell some of them are or were. Still a great product though haha!

In my opinion; most videos involving s&s quickies use 4 turns. Therefore making the valve train quieter.

On a EVO, you must have the Quickees or take the rocker covers off.

In same boat, find an answer?

If you wait 1/2 hour and the push rod still won't turn, the valve is open. DO NOT proceed unless the push rod turn with your fingers.

It's a legit concern but I have never seen it happen. You could use a little blue thread locker on the jam nut if you wanted. - Patrick

Use two 7/16 wrenches to lock the nut to the S&S quickee push rod and it will stay there for years.

a great cam set for what you are looking to do is the S&S .482, its a straight drop in , no modification needed. Yes you can use the S&S quickee pushrods and you wont have to disassemble the rockers.

jojojeep1 I'm having the same problem you just described on my 2005 twin cam. was it the lifters bleeding down like you suspected?

Funny, I have kind'a similar story. 1995 Evo with a cyclic" knock/clackity clack". Sounds like its coming from Compensating Sprocket. Replaced Spring pack- all else looked good. Still had that knock. Watched/listened with primary cover off... looked like chain stretch and noise was from some slap. (from chain flap itself- not against the inner case). To check I slightly over-tightened primary chain. That seemed to lower the knock. But with the quieter primary, I am hearing just as much clacking noise from the right side-loudest at rocker boxes ?! Its hard to narrow it down-especially with loud pipes, even using a scope. Regardless, have to now consider the noise is from valve train. I have not yet replaced the stock cam bearing with the Torrington. Since I am also getting some " intake farts", and dead-spot on acceleration from a stop, It is pointing to a lifter problem. Has that darn primary noise been covering up the lifter noise all along? Will find out when I start pulling the boxes and nose cone off. Any comments appreciated. Low mileage = 35K

This is the question I have . What is correct ?

Good boy Ringo I called S&S and they said 4 full turns. That’s what I did and it works fine.

@@joet3408 ... Thank you .

I'm assuming you mean adjustable pushrods. Most of the adjustable units are the same basic adjustment.

I use S&S push rod tubes with my Quikies and have never had a leak.

How do push rods leak? Are you talking about the push rod cover o-rings leaking?

Use two 7/16 wrenches to lock the nut to the S&S quickee push rod and it will stay there for years.

Same as the "heel" of the cam. Basically 180 deg. opposite the lobe centerline of the cam.

When the piston is all the way to the top of the cylinder and both valves are closed.

Look for S&S quickee pushrods on Amazon or ebay.

these adjustments are to be made on a COLD engine.. so the only "pumping up" of the tappet that should be happening is you turning the engine over to make sure you are on the base of the cam. Shouldn't have to worry about it too much. I always spin the pushrod before loosening the lock nut.. if it spins freely.. should be good to adjust.

on the other hand.. once you've adjusted the pushrod.. you MUST wait till you can spin the pushrod you just adjusted freely again..using just your oily fingers before you move on to the next cylinder.

one more thing.. this info is for S&S pushrod.. the TPI or Thread per inch varies from brand to brand.. you need to know what TPI yours are before attempting to adjust.. Its easy to figure.. remove one of your pushrods.. use a measuring tape and measure 1 inch of threads and mark with tape to hold your spot. Count the threads in the measured area.. this will give you your Threads per inch.. then look up the specs for adjusting.. ie how many "flats" to turn down..

Check for a pinched o ring is my best advice without being there. Good luck. Cysts are nasty.

Your math is correct. The only variable is threads per inch on the push rods. S&S quickees are 32 TPI, or .03125 per full turn (6 flats)

I do and its cheap

cosgrove notts never had to work on mine just upgrades and I'm not real easy on it

I bought a spare Harley since I am always working on one of them.
