Default SE adjustable pushrods
Does anyone know how many turns after 0 lash, to adjust the pushrods? It's a twin cam B motor.

10 Flats, or 2.5 turns......

Once that is set (from base circle), let them set for 15 minutes, to let the lifters bleed....

They should turn on their ball ends with a bit of drag.....

Most important thing about setting them up is the torque on the locknuts...

Gotta be tighter than a Nun's cooter on Good Friday.....

Mark adjuster with a spot of white out to count and a close pin helps hold up cover.
