The instructions for the Woods Alpha Directional lifters spec 0.125” for total travel. The Fuel Moto EZ pushrod 930-0145 is 24 threads per inch (tpi) or 0.042” travel per turn. Strangely enough Fuel Moto specs 4 turns with Woods lifters and people have had success with 4 turns. Am I missing something? Wouldn’t 4 turns net 0.164” travel which is a lot more than 0.125” spec’d by Woods?

 

Just to be clear, the Wood instructions say extend push rods to 0.120" to 0.140" total travel after lash removed. My initial post mentions "total travel" and this was not meant to indicate the absolute travel a typical lifter has which we all know is >0.2".

For those that have used Wood alpha lifters any comments appreciated.

 

I've used woods lifters but with screaming eagle pushrods, same thread pitch, and use 3.5 turns as a starting point. Haven't had to go back and put any more in.

 

Woods 22xe cam and lifters. 4 turns and it is quiet and runs great. Adjust them to 4 turns, Fuelmoto has it right.
