1995 FLHT Adj Pushrods
I have a 1995 FLHT.
There are adj push rods in it now,I have to replace all the O rings, top, middle, lower, onthe push rod covers, might as well replace the metal washers and springs also.
The rear exhaust top push rod coverO ring is leaking ever so lightly which in turn makes a mess over time.
I have tried resealing the push rod cover but the result was what I expected it still seeps oil.
Here in lies my problem, I have no idea who made the adj push rods that are in there now, I have read that some manufactures say turn them 2 turns to 2.5 turns,and some say 3 turns
depending on who made them.
So I have just about made up my mind to buy a set of Crane adj push rods and install those, what would you folks do.
Also if I recall right there is a sweet spot where all valves are closed and the push rods will all turn if set properly, and can removedat the same time?
It's been awhile since I have worked on EVO's and the ol memory is not up to par.
Thanks in advance.

RE: 1995 FLHT Adj Pushrods
I would look at the thread pitch and then go to a bike shop and find pushrods with similar threads and see how many turns that manufacture recommends and use that on your existing pushrods. You don't have to worry about the sweet spot, you have to clear the top of the lifter blocks, so it doesn't matter where the lifters are. To adjust, you have to set all four at 0 lash by turning the back wheel in incraments and adjusting, turn adjust ect. Let the lifters bleed down for 10 to 15 min to make sure you have 0 lash.
