A little help please??
I want to adjust my pushrods and have been studying Chacha's how to. Its the bit about shortening and extending the pushrods that I'm not clear on. Please look at the below
10. When you get to a rod you can work on, be sure to collapse the lifter nut not anything else. You want to get the rod assembly finger loose. Once that is done, I hold the rod and begin to extend (turn to left) the lifter nut until the rod just becomes just unturnable, but no more. This is the "Zero lash" point discussed in the procedures.
11. From this point, I extend the lifter nut three turns (or 18 flats - nut has six sides 3x6=18). You can go four turns, but I've been happy with three. What you are doing is trying to extend the pushrod assembly into the midpoint of the lifters adjustment range.
Ok - to shorten the pushrod are you turning the nut with the green arrow (after loosening the lock nut of course) and which way are you turning it (clockwise or counter clockwise if you are looking down on the nut)? Are you holding the pushrod still whilst doing this?
Thanks gents
