SE adjustable push rods
Can anyone let me know what is the TPI of the adjustable push rods in a SE stage two torque kit. Is it 32 or 24? Nothing is mentioned in the Installation sheet. I am riding a 2018 Fat Bob FXFB. Thanks.

Thanks all. The reason I asked is after installing the Stage two torque kit I started getting a ticking sound after a minute of initial start up. It would persist for another three minutes and go away. The dealership has adjusted the push rods twice and now they are suspecting a problem with the stock lifters wherein the oil is bleeding away and only later being pumped up. They have ordered SE lifters part no 18572-13 hence I asked for the TPI. With the stock lifters and with 2.5 turns the noise was bad. Now after 4 turns the sound appears as mentioned in initial start up and vanishes. I am waiting for the new SE lifters and hopefully get rid of the sound. I have this feeling that I made a mistake with the stage two. The bike was running beautifully with stage one. The bike is in warranty and here there is no way I can get after market parts. I have to stick to MOCO.

Did they use NEW stock lifters or re-use your old lifters?

Agoober - Namaste and Pranaam to you too. Thats correct I am in deep Southern India whereas you should be freezing and here its hot.
OldMike - They used the old lifters and not new. I will have them count the number of threads when I take her in to replace the lifters. Is it OK if replace the stock ones with the SE lifters Part number mentioned earlier. They have ordered the same. The dealership has also sent a note to HD Singapore requesting advice.
