Re: Beefed Up My Trike Motor, Part 2
You know what's funny, is the video disk for Fuel Moto says to rotate the SAME pushrods in a 107 engine, 4 turns and 2 flats. Now, if the 107 engine is the same setup as my 88, then I guess I could try that amount. Probably should call Fuel Moto tomorrow to see what they think.
The back cylinder sounds fine, so I could leave those adjustments alone.
Kind of a redneck way of doing it but, you could turn it over until your on the heal of the cam and then use something along the lines of a paper clip to measure how deep your lifter is compressed. You'll need some way of measuring the paper clip once you mark it, dial calipers will work good. You can safely go .140 in the hole with the Woods directional lifters, if you know your not that deep you could try lengthening each push rod 1 flat at a time and seeing if it helps quiet it down some.
