while the shop service manual is pretty good, that video is very helpful. the manual shows to remove the cam plate, one must remove the oil pump screws where as the video shows is not necessary to disassemble the oil pump saving an extra step.

Just posting up to agree with others. After labor on removing the tank, rocker covers, and rockers then reinstalling them I think it is worth doing the adjustable pushrods. And like mentioned gives you that much more freedom on cam choice. Depending on how many miles you have on the bike you might want to get the tappets replaced as well.

am going to be getting into the cam chest next week, already have a set of S&S premium lifters, S&S quickies and S&S chain tensioner and bearings and bearing removal/install tool. am getting a noisy lifter and decided to do cams at the same time.
found a set of woods 222 cams on E bay that included a set of woods night prowler lifters for $270.00, look like new. will see how it goes, but with the shop manual and help from the S&S video, looks like a strait forward job.

that is correct, on the video the guy shows 3.3 turns, where as S&S instructions says use 4 turns.

Andrews 48H is ok with stock pushrods
best low end performance and torque a lifter is .200 deep you want pushrod in the middle but you have a lot of play both ways stock pushrods will put you .080 deep thats fine to 5500 rpm maybe more
