You probably didn't understand a word I typed here. If this is the case talk to some other engine guys, they will explain better than me. I repaired my first engine in 95.

There are two valves per rocker arm. Each rocker arm has one pushrod. Harley engineers not drunk. Put down the crack pipe and get some sleep.

While the engineers weren't drunk or smokin' the good stuff (I hope), it's worthy of discussion. Here is the question..

What is going to happen if the valve clearance is not the same between the 2 rocker tips? Valves probably won't burn as pushrod lash will likely be determined by the tighter valve. What other issues can happen and if it's serious is there a ways to mitigate them?
