Will I need to re-adjust the push rods when I put my motor back together?

 

I saw your other thread so, yes, you will need to re-adjust them for sure since you had all that fine work done ...

 

 

Yes you will.

 

Thanks. Please stand by for lots of STUPID questions.............

 

It means he is rude and does not have the knowledge to answer your question.


Your adjustable pushrods must be adjusted when you re assemble your engine. If you don`t have adjustable pushrods, just install them according to the service manual.

 

Thanks for the answer! I kind of thought (since I've never worked on an Evo before) that I might be able to get away with re-installing them the way they are adjusted.

What exactly makes it necessary to re-adjust them anyway?

 

When you get ready to reassemble the motor, let us know. We'll walk through the pushrod adjustment. I think the travel on the lifters is .200. You want the pushrod adjustment to be in the middle at about .100. With the jugs and heads removed and retorqued, you need to readjust the pushrods.

 

There is no need for this kind of thing and any more of it will get you in trouble, nuff said.

How the hell do you expect him to learn what many of us already know if you make up stupid answers to his questions.

To the OP, never fear asking what sounds to you like a stupid question.
There are no stupid questions unless you consider the one you don't ask.
That one is a stupid question, cause the answer to it may well save you time, money and not a little aggravation.

 

3 1/2 - 4 turns should get you to the preload you need. I marked one flat of the pushrod nut with a paint pen so I could keep track.
