Yes on the alignment. Did it by turning the wheel as I tightened the bolts. It "Should" be ok. 🤞
Still using stock rods and slowly tightened the rocker assembly as the lifters bled.

Back together and let it run for a few. Waiting on an HD oil pressure gauge being shipped.
In the meantime I found the shift lever has come loose behind the primary.
Does it ever end? 🤪

Put the new HD oil pressure gauge in and it's reading 20 -30 psi at idle when warm. It shoots up to 60+ when I give it throttle. Ideas? Lifters? Can a badly seated oil pump really cause that increase and only the increase symptom?

I actually read it this time after a good ride. 10-12 at idle and 30-40 when revved. Sewing machine tick and the initial high reading was making me nervous. 😓...Much better now 😃.
