Subject:how tight on pushrods?
From:Aaron Robinson
Date:Sun, 15 Mar 1998 13:20:12 -0800

Hey, I tightened up my head bolts a while back and had to take the rocker
arms off and everything. I was just wondering what the correct thinking
was to tighten up the adjusting screws for the pushrods.

What I did, was wait until the rocker arm had pushed the pushrod all the
way down, then turn the adjusting screw until it was tight, then 1/4 to
1/2 a turn extra. Is this right? I just don't know how tight I should go
and don't want to go too loose either.

What happens if they're too tight? How about too loose?

Please reply to me personally since I get the digest.
thanks

Aaron
