It's a recent buy no one admits to know the history, odometer reads 3700mi, has Elec start, springer front end. Changed leaking primary gasket, repaired short in Elec start circuit and a short in front turn signals one of which caused bike to not run. The guy who sold it said motor oil is used in clutch bath, changed that. Sounds like lifters, wrist pins or cam lobe-push rods are making ticking sound in rythum with rpm's. Gonna get service manual when $ allow just trying to get a plan going for now. Been riding an evo and a town cam the shovelhead is new to me.

This should get you there.... Just make sure you adjust them according to the TPI of the pushrod....

And whatever you do don't go putting "wave" washers in the rocker arms.
