Man, at the rate you're going you might be running before I am. Although I should be running Monday unless I run into another stupid issue.

I'm really curious to see once they're all broken in and tuned the power different between your build and mine. Similar compression I'd guess, same cams, S&S vs my WFO Larry Heads, and me having 7 extra inches.

Yes... I think I recall learning (years ago) that the correct procedure was as follows:

-Find TDC on compression stroke (both lifters at their lowest point)
-Adjust the pushrod so that it can just be rotated by hand, but with resistance
-Lengthen the pushrod about 1/8th of an inch

I think that sounds about the same as what you're saying?
