[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 130588, member: 60"] I had to turn a small amount off the OD of one new pushrod tube flange as it was catching on the head thread . I also made sure that the push rod nuts ran up into the head. one of the nice shiny chrome ones was a bit stiff I dont have a 1"X20 tpi plug tap (after all only the pushrod tube nuts have that size thread on a Vincent) so I selected an old brass coulored one which went in a treat I also assembled the head with the head nuts finger tight so there was a smigin of movement while the pushrod nuts were being run up. I then brought the head nuts up to 27ft lbs and tighted up the push rod nuts fully I shall bring the headnuts up to 32 today there is a lot to compress with the top hat 600 to 500 conversion plug and two gaskets.
