So I have this old girl torn apart. I’m in the cam chest and see no obvious signs or issues. Orings are intact in good shape . Oil pump looks good on the inside. I can tell you today I was thinking about the oil pump. And I don’t recall putting assembly lube on the rotors. But upon inspection I see no scoring or any other issues. Cam timing looks to be good. Perhaps my pump alignment is bad? I will re-install everything most likely tomorrow. But here are some pics of the cam chest and components. I did pump alignment in accordance with my year model. Is there possibly another alignment procedure for this newer style cam plate?

 

This is a high flow screaming eagle pump. A few have suggest running less oil in the crankcase. Would this higher flow pump cause excessive oil out of the air cleaner? It just seems scary to run less oil.

 

Get a new cam plate and oil pump i put a fueling set in mine money well spent.

 

This is all brand new. Oil pump and plate are brand new

 

To me it looks like it's off a tooth. Look at the back side timing marks.


Nothing wrong with the stock cam plate and pump.

 

Yes. So honestly. I intend on taking the cams off the plate. It looks off to me when it’s on the bike. I am this far apart. I will take the cams out and move it a tooth forward. Thanks for input.

 

Depending on the cams, there should be marks on the sprockets without removing the cams.. Front cam looks like it's advanced which would explain the difference in compression.

 

@Steve Helton 2 That SE Cam Plate and high-flow oil pump - while not a Fueling-grade - are superior over the stock plate and pump. Not really the issue. Besides, he’s already made that purchase.

 

I think the cams appearing off might be an optical but can't hurt to check on the sprockets. Almost have to be off really. Easier to tell on the sprockets for sure. My t man cams only had marks on the inside of the sprockets and I marked the other side with a marker so I could verify after they were assembled in the plate just for this reason and I still double and trickle check.
To answer your question, the pushrod adjustment could not cause your issue(s) and technically .105 is not off anyway. Just .125 assures quieter operation is all.
That's a stock plate, btw. Not SE.

 

If you look closely at the plate, it is stock not SE.
