[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 95301, member: 60"] Here is something you don't see everyday certainly its a first for me checking the tappets the inlet pushrod wont twirl in my little pinkies Oh thinks I 'its closed up' I know they were set correctly on build. loosen nut turn back adjuster but rod still doesnt turn, more turns still solid, thoughts of mangled cam gear set in and how did it run supposedly with the inlet valve propped open? Then I see whats happened as I try and turn I hear tapping the push rod is stuck in the adjuster, turn the ajuster and the rod turns take out adjuster and it lifts off push rod as well! Anyone would think I put a smear of locktite in there not copper grease. perhaps its not flame hardened, Hey ho off with the tank and sort it out, biggest pain to come is fitting the damm rod back in the follower down the tube-ugh!
