S&S push rod adjustment
was wondering what's the proper adjustment is ? I have a 2012 Dyna 103 I put Andrews's 510 lift cams in it . My friend who has done push rods before set them for me . He put them at "zero lash" he calls it and then adjusted them out 3 full turns is this correct? Just want to make sure they are opening correctly. There is no noise or anything by the way. Just making sure I'm good. Thanks!

Which S&S pushrods are they?
Divide 1 by the number of threads per inch on the pushrods and multiply that to get to .140 preload. That number is how many turns your buddy should've set them to.

I went to the S&S website and found this. These Pushrods require the use of pushrod covers for 84-99 Evo's. Your pushrod could be hitting the tubes.... You're adjustment sounded ok... Have you opened the covers to see if they are hitting.

there not hitting on anything or making noise I did look up adjustment on the S&s site and it said turn them 4 turns or 24 flats I only turned them 3 full turns. When we put them in we had to remove the lower cover of the push rod and feed them in all at once it was a pain in the *** . But there working my concern is if at 3 turns are they opening the valves all the way and properly
