Good call on the pushrods. These are new, and you can really see where the wear is. On the two outside units you can just see the wear at the very center, on the middle one you can see the wear is more toward the outside of the unit.



A little more detail, that was the front exhaust ( when I sent it to you ) and yes when it got warmed up it did make more noise than the others!

I cannot pick up any lip, and the wear is no more then polishing up the surface so I think they are still good. What needs to be done with the rocker?

[Dragstews]

Aaaaaaaa....

It's the other end of the rods that we need to eyeball ... Chief !

Unless you been using a set of Shovelhead pushrods .. ??

(I've got a feeling it's mate found it's way into the shitcan back in the early 50's)

[Dragstews]

Less than 50 bucks ..

[DoomBuggy]

[Dragstews]

This has been a wee bit of a chore, do want to thank "Will Kibblewhite" (Owner of KPMI) for his involvement in order to pull this off ...
He went out of his way to make one off parts ... He be "Da Man"

Now for the next job ... Hoping it will be a Knuck ..!!
Reason for is, I made up a headstand in order to be able to work them in the Seat & Guide Machine ....





Don't get to use it very often, spiders has made a home out of it .. !!

[DoomBuggy]

I appreciate you and Will! Unfortunately I can't help on the knuck front. Someone help this man out with another project, lol.

[Dragstews]

Flatheads' are easy, peasy ....

The rocker arm is on it's way to me ...

VT has their employees working from home, but for a few pulling parts to ship out to their dealers ...
No delay in receiving parts ....

Coronavirus in NY: Cuomo orders lockdown, shuts down non-essential businesses !!

Guessing Harley parts are essential ....
(Keep the Bikers happy or all Hell will break loose) ...
