Good video--thanks! One way of determining a consistent amount of adjustment among the pushrods is to tighten them up with your fingers, as you've done, and then from that point back off by 1/4 to 1/2 flat. This makes for a slightly looser adjustment . However, his is a good way for ironheads as the adjustment tightens up when the engine warms up.( For aluminum head Harleys, it is the opposite--the adjustment loosens with heat). I may have missed it in the video but this should only be done when the engine is ice cold.

Yeah I don’t think the same thing applies to a 2015 road king as it does to a 1977 sportster lol
