I know this OP, have met him in person. I can verify he is new to motor building. Asking questions is where everyone starts.
Many here want to and enjoy answering questions helping those who ask for it... The reply you made makes you sound like an asshat and you have been reported by your peers as doing so. Maybe you should reconsider your words and expand on your thoughts instead of sounding like you are challenging a Site Moderator and dumping on the OP?

Hey TDog...
You hang in there and do as these guys suggest. If in doubt, ask the EVO guys here. They are great bunch of guys/gals.
Too late, he already knows but is up to his eyebrows in work right now.

Oh well. At least he knows I'm trying to take care of her. I had her up for sale a couple of times......then I came to my senses...........
She's still a sweet ride.

I think this came from Miacycles but it should make adjusting your push-rods easier
First put the bike in high gear and rotate the wheel forward until the valve to be adjusted just closes. Then put a piece of tape on the bottom of the wheel. Next rotate the wheel forward until the valve starts to open, put another piece of tape on the wheel. Halfway between the two marks will put that lifter on the heel of the cam. Now you can adjust that valve. We usually add a quarter turn or so extra to make up for loss of length when tightening down the push-rods. Hope this helps.
