Here is what the adjuster looks like






Here is a helpful video on installing and adjusting the pushrods

Or take an old one to the grinder.

I didn't have that much room on my TC96. The inside pushrods were worse than the outers.

BTW: My bike runs great with tune Lucas sent (on a Sunday evening) and the guy that I talked to on the phone was very helpful. Thank you all for being awesome.

I got them adjusted, but I had a concoct something to hold the pushrod tube tightly up into the head and not cover the flats of the pushrod. After getting past that, having something come with the kit that holds the tube up a bit more snug would probably make life a bit easier.

my nephew and I just finished a cam install on his 09 SG today, we reused the stock pushrods rather than wrestle with adjusting the FM adjustable pushrods

Using the stock tubes is such a PIA even with the pushrod holder tool, I got tired of that and bought the Colony quick install pushrod tubes.

And if you think that using the stock tubes are a PIA, use Loctite like the instructions says an find out why not, I never did on any brand pushrods, let the jamb nut do it's job.

Or find some EVO tubes off fleabay

I agree on the no loctite for pushrods. Just not necessary
