mixing the int & ex`s would be a prob,but just using stock p/rods with .570 S&S cams isn't correct,but wouldn't stop it from starting

Sorry I'm in the field this week guys. I do appreciate the help. I honestly think mixed up the exhaust and intake pushrods. I literally had no idea there was a difference. I bought a set of adjustables and will be installing them Friday. I see the difference between the exhaust and intake on these adjustable lol. Yet another lesson learned. Cherry

I'm going to install the new pushrods tomorrow when I get back. I'll keep you updated.
On screaming eagle adjustables is 2.5 turns past zero lash good or is there a better amount?

Others might throw things at me for this, but on the SE adjustables I've had better luck with 3 or even 3.25 turns out for cams/heads I've used. Not saying that you should duplicate ANYTHING that I do as a garage hack though...others on the forum do this stuff for a living, so keep an eye out for what they say.

I only bring this up because a lot of my "Shovel" brethren continue to break off cast cooling fins on their bikes because they pry against them with screwdrivers. :-)

I agree, I even called FuelMoto about that and they said to just use a screw driver and place it in the cooling fins and use it to push down that spring load part. I did that on two of them, I still have to get the other two on this weekend.
