revtech pushrod instructions
I am replacing my lifters in my 89 Evo FLTC and have misplaced the instructions for the Revtech adjustable pushrods.Aluminum.
I think is is 4 turns after finger tight but want to be sure.
A copy of the sheet that came with the rods would be a lot to ask for but would be great.
I have spent a lot of time on the interweb trying to find the info but no luck.
ny help would be greatly appreciated
Warning following message oiff topic.
I had to re-register because I forgot my old usernam and password and am not getting email with a link to finger it out.
Thanks

Problem is, these aftermarket companies are constantly changing suppliers/manufactuers and specs, so it's difficult to know what is what.
Best way is to measure the threads per inch of the adjustment screws with a thread pitch gauge (most all tap-die sets have one). When you know that, it's all easy. Basically you want to extend them .100 from zero clearance, with the roller on the base of the cam.
When the exhaust is starting up on one cylinder, you can adjust both pushrods on the opposite cylinder. Then wait until you can easily twist both adjusted pushrods with your fingers before rotating engine.
Here's a chart that will give you the "turns" or "flats" to turn in order to acheive approx, .100
