Pushrod adhustment

Getting some advice, finally getting ready to put my cams in, and watched the crap out of YouTube. Question is on S&S YOUTUBE video he adjust 20 flats and directions in the package for pushrods say 24 flats from S&S. So go 20, 24 ,or set it at 22? I reliaze it's not much difference as 3.2 turns is for the 32tpi pushrods = .100 or about jalfway, so why are they saying two different things or just install at 4 turns and go on. Thanks

I set all of mine at 25 flats on the S&S. Equates to around .130.

The more you look, the more you will find. Stop looking! I would follow the instructions that came with the rods, but then I'm simple like that.......

I just re-did mine a week ago...this time at 4 turns....was at 3.5 turns.

Do 4. I think it's quieter.

Think I'm going to just do 4 and go from there. After all that is what the directions call for. I was just wondering why the difference in YouTube video vs. instructions.

All personal preference. Mine are set at 4 turns plus 4 flats.

Even quieter.
