Thanks fellas. Cams,cam bearings,tappets and pushrods are done.I installed the new tune from fuelmoto and it fired right up.It kinda freaked me out how it sounded until the tappets got filled with oil.If I had to do it allover again id use the S&S quick push rods.It was a pita taking the tappet blocks off.
It sounds nice now if it will stop raining I can take it for a ride

I soaked mine in 5-30 motor oil overnight, when setting the adjustable push rod length the lifters bled down a lot quicker speeding up the whole process.

But with your fixed pushrods, you won't have to ever worry about an adjuster coming loose to ruin your day
