Thanks. Good concise info on this procedure. Most cover a complete removal/installation of pushrods; I do not need all that.

This is really appreciated because I had no really good way to do this and for the hydraulic is probably the easiest ways most people will say 12 flats but marker is a great way.

A mini bungee is real good for holding the tubes up out of your way too.

With hydraulic lifters you should wait until it bleeds down before turning engine over to adjust the next

Turning the engine over will pump up the lifters so you have to wait a few minutes for them to bleed down.

Solid or hydraulic lifters ? that should be stated as you work. all push rods are solid/adjustable

He didn't prime the lifters after checking them so they'll clatter like crazy on start up until they fill with oil. More importantly, he didn't compress the lifter by 14 or 20 flats or whatever (varies depending on thread of pushrod) so as to position it at the correct point in its range. He treated it just like a solid lifter. I hope nobody follows this 'advice'. The Internet is so full of misinformation. I'd recommend checking-out Pacific Mike's channel. He knows what he's doing.

What do you mean "prime the lifter"?? Assemble the lifter together and use a tool to push up on the check ball?? In the video I thought that he did take the the spring all the way down collapsing the lifter Than loosening 1 1/2 turn.. My clymer book says early shovelheads 1 3/4 turns out Later shovelheads 1 1/2 turns out The way he did it in this vid.. I know Pacific mike Does it differently... He adjusts down until the spring just starts to collapses than 24 more flats.. Well that i am assuming it works the same way achieving the same thing in the end... I must admit i am freaking confused... I can't find a real HD book and everybody says something different...

why prime the lifter you can't make an adjustment with oil in it

They ARE solid lifters buttnut. Nothing like trashing someone when In fact you are the one who is ignorant.
