custom build questions
I'm struggling with in experience.
I have a 85 custom EVO bike. S&S heads, Jim's hydro solid lifter.
Can I used S&S quicky push rods with a lifter that acts like a solids lifter?
Jim's instruction reflect adjusting these push rods like you would with solid lifters. I have plenty of experience with that, I'm an old British car guy.
I like the idea of not having to pull the engine to get to push rods out.
Seams to me that if I adjusted the push rod for zero lash that I'd want to back off the fit at little .. like .015 so the push rod is not loaded al the time. At least that's what I do for the British Leyland cars of the 50's and 60's that I've adjusted.
Thanks ,

I'm getting you adjust them to manufacture thread pitch by flats same as a Evo lifter but are only roughly setting the piston .035 instead of .100 in the lifter? Doesn't sound like a solid setting for hyd setting but the design sounds like the Hydrosolid just keeps the lifter right where it is set closer to the top like a solid, information says it doesn't pump up past the setting on backside cam lobe recovery

Hydo Solid Lifters
Since these are simi hydraulic/solid seems line I should be able to use the easy fit pushrods and just follow the Jim's instructions and which track to less turns = less travel in the lifter.
Thanks
Thanks
