Thanks for helping me fix my choppa today 😘
Now I saw 3 of your videos and I like it. I'm a points guy, I'm a kicker guy and I'm also into solid lifters 😂.
If you set engine where rear exhaust just closes and intake starts open, the front cylinder is in compression cycle and you can adjust both front valves. Same goes for when front changes, then rear is closed on both.
Loved the video. Definitely explained this so much better then the last 20 videos I have watched on this. 🤘
Glad I could help
Clear explanation, easy to understand. Good content.
Awesome video brother. I had a big block Chevy with solid cam while in high school. There was more maintenance involved ( adjusting valves like once a month when ran hard) but performance gain definitely worth it. It also was much more rewarding to stay in touch with the motor. Thanks again bro keep um coming. Take care and stay safe.
Oh yeah man gotta keep up on that stuff. The extra work is well worth it.
Awesome tutorial Cody
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏 another great videos so much learning…Thank you
Awesome vid. I do it differently but I like the vice grips idea👍
I've heard it put that you get the push rod to where you can barely spin it with oily fingers. I've done it it both ways, and it still seems to work out just fine.
My fingers are always oily brother! 😂
i love your content im 19 and hope to do a shovelhead chopped out and i wanna learn as much as i can if you can go over rear wheel alignment and going over spacers that’d be killer and helpful thanks dude💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Get into it young man. That’s awesome. I definitely will do a video on that.
Awesome video dude🤘🏻 great seeing ya at mama tried. Hopefully next year too🤙🏻
Likewise man!
Solids are hard as Hell on a hydraulic Cam.
awesome vid!!!!!
Thank you.
Good job but musical background not necessary sir. Thank you
Solid lifters on a shovel motor will destroy your valvetrain in short order. Starting with the lifter rollers themselves, spend it now or spend it later there is a reason Harley used hydros on the extreme angularity of shovel pushrods.
Good video, thank you! And s&s (installed height 8.5mm) or Colony (installed height 17.2mm) the better??
Hey man, running a open belt drive setup on a 79.
What’s the best way to deal with the extra oil lines coming out of the oil pump. Currently i have them routed into each other aka the chain oiler routed into the return to pump line. Just some funky shit.. but it works i guess..
Can you make a video on how to clean up all that stuff. No content out there about it on the tube. Haven’t really dove into the forums because i actually can’t read.
That’s actually a pretty good way of doing it. Or just cap that oiler off. I can definitely add that to the list of videos.
Great video! It looks like you never tightened up the bottom nuts on each push rod…assuming that was done off camera?
Yes I did
😎👍😎
this is the kind of stuff I like! thank you. Just wondering if the lock nut needs to be tightened against the jam nut after adjusting. I noticed you left the lock nut loose and then put the push rod tubes back on. thanks again!
I’m glad you liked it. Both lock nuts are tight against the pushrod. The front one looks like it’s loose because the angle.
Very, very nice. but please lower the music at critical point! cannot hear you speak to well.
What about hidrollic lifters ??? Solid are Kool....😂 talk about push rod lengths.... then you can talk about shovel head s ...please smile and have a good day 😂😅😊
Lifters and tappets and pushrods...oh my. Don't you hate it when what's in your head doesn't come out of your mouth right?
Decent explanation/tutorial but a "ground-down" wrench to grab the flats on the pushrods would be better. Some ham-fisted newb is likely to scar up pushrods clamping down on them with visegrips.
Hahaha definitely. I’ve done the ground down wrench thing in the past but always liked the visegrip. I’d rather have scratches on my pushrods then a loose pushrod. Hahaha.
@@codyschoppercorner5727 Agreed... tight is right. I've just always reserved vicegrips for stuff that's already messed up.
Use a tappet wrench
