Hey all...hoping for some help or experiences from anyone out there.....
Yesterday I installed my adjustable pushrods, did the first cylinder, waited a few hours for bleed down (took a break) and then when I checked that all was good I went to turn the engine over with the rear wheel and I hear one loud ‘clack’ noise....sounded like something hard snapped. I was sh***ing my pants! Lol. I turned it over a few more times and nothing (this is by hand). Quite and smooth. Did front cylinder and no probs.
Last night I realized watching a YouTube video that I did not use the fatter o-rings on the top of the pushrod covers. Ooops. This morning was my do over. The exact same thing happened. Same noise, same time and not repeatable.
I am thinking something just being forced into its ‘home’ on the first turn over? I don’t really know. Last thing I want to do is tear everything apart to look but I guess it’s better than finding an issue on start up.
Just so you have some background I used new pushrods, new lifters. Nothing done to rocker arms, etc. My build is an 04 dyna that I just put in 95" cylinders, 103" Heads (got some nice newer take offs) and SS510 gear drive cams. Everything in the motor spun freely before pushrods and is now....just the one noise.......
Any thoughts?
