Help replacing push rods / lifters 94 evo? Fullerton, CA
#21
alright...not sleeping well tonight so I went out and popped a cover off. Yes, it was easier than I realized.
Turns out that I have adjustable pushrods, at least in the front cylinder exhaust position. Didn't do the rest but I'm assuming they're all adjustable.
The one I opened up had no play up or down and turned easy but slightly "bound" when turning. I didn't take note of stroke position.
I'm gonna just pop all the covers tomorrow and remove the blocks and lifters and give them a look. I'm assuming that once I shorten the pushrods they'll just come out, correct?
I sure hope I'm not barking up the wrong tree.
I think I'm gonna give my fancy billet tubes a try...

yup, turns out they're just regular adjustables.
I hate to puss out, but I'm just not comfortable doing all this. I already almost stripped one of the pushrod adjusters just trying to loosen it up.
I don't want to cut out what's in there...no sense in that...but I think I'm gonna suck it up and take it to a local indy. HOPEFULLY they'll let me peak over their shoulders if I stay out of the way. I don't want to be a chicken forever, but I want this done right. I can't afford "clean up costs"
thanks all for the help!
