[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 3273, member: 109"] [b]Thanks Phil[/b] Hi Phil, Thanks for the reply, sounds just a little complicated for a beginner like me though, mmmm - need to think about that one. The engine was re-built a year ago by Terry Prince in Australia - I have all the paperwork that came with the bike and it would appear (on the face of it) that it may well have new followers but the original pushrods - seems a strange money saving decision. When I bought the bike from the chap who had it re-built, with it came two large metal ammo boxes with all the parts that have ben changed and sure enough when I look through them this afternoon the rockers and cam followers are there, as are the valves and associated parts, even the pushrod tubes were replaced and originals are in the box - but no pushrods? Odd. I could just about stretch my skill set to seeing if I can get hold of the pushrod with some mole grips and gently tapping upwards to see if I can free it up from the ET29 - then replacing it with a new pushrod (hoping that I get one that 'fits' from stock. What do you think - should I give it a go or should I find myself a Vincent engineer to have the job done properly? Cheers Stuart [/QUOTE]
