From memory, the two exhaust were in the right spot the longest to the front. I'm fuzzy on the intakes but think you had them right. They were color coded at one time so you could just drop then in accordingly. Up side to the adjustables is if you pick up a bit of lifter clatter you can tweak a flat or 2 more to cure it.
Might look up the color code sequence on google to check it.

Ok, so the FSM does say they are color coded but these pushrods are not. I'm gonna swap the intake pushrods and see where this goes. BTW, I saw that pic also online.
Thanks
Leave the longer intake in the front, motor geometry says so. Those are always the longer even on the older iron.
See, that was already the set up but no matter what I did I couldn't get that front intake to spin, which I believe is why that front cylinder wasn't running initially.
Ugh, well, I can try it but I respect what you and a few others say, or I can just wait for the adjustables and go from there, which at this point is where my gut is telling me. But I also want to see if my logic is correct.

Ride safe!
I've seen lifters hold pressure several hours before, rare but does happen.
