Ok, this may be amateur hour, but I'm needed some answers haha

I just finished building my TC88 in my 01 FXDXT (Home Garage Build!)
Big Bore Kit - 10.25:1 compression
cams
stock push rods
Twin Tec Ignition
T Header
Stage 2 CV
Big Sucker

so at idle you don't notice any oil leaking
took it for a spin and dumped oil out the covers
it looks like all 4 and its definitely coming from the top.

2 questions:
1: are all pushrod covers the same length? I bought this off of ebay and was rushing to install and didn't compare to the stocks (were trashed)

2: i never could google a straight answer on this, do the pushrod retainers go under the middle o-ring and then push against the spring to hold the top end up ? how do these get inserted?

I know these might be some novice questions.....but on the bright side I just built my first TC and it runs, even did the clutch spring and andrews 30 tooth trans pulley.



once i completely finish it ill make sure to post a build thread with tons of pictures!

Thanks!

 

Did you put the seals in right way round?

You should have a pic like this in your Service Manual. Be careful not to mix up where the o-rings go, the top o-ring is referred to as "smaller" but it really has about the same ID as the intermediate one but for sure the top one is thicker.

 

Fixed and good to go!
Thanks for the diagram Alan.

Now to get this thing painted!
