[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 92706, member: 597"] Actually if the tappet adjuster was hitting the inside of the cap, that would be enough to do the damage. You have to use either a shorter pushrod, or cut the hex off the adjuster and cut a screw driver slot or similar in to the top of it. It pays to turn the engine over using the back wheel in top gear and feel for any stiffness or binding as the engine is slowly rotated, leave the ET 160 gasket off and rotate the inspection caps with the cam on full lift and you will soon feel the cap lock up solid if there is something jamming it from the inside. All tricks of the trade of course.................... [/QUOTE]
