Great thread, beautiful hands, Tom.... and the narration was right down homey...

I learned something from LittleBear that applies to this thread.

In order to get the pushrods both at their lowest point on the cam lobes prior to adjustment you need to be in Compression Stroke. A surefire way to get there is to stick a clothespin (helps to see movement) on the intake pushrod (a rubber band and a paper clip will hold the pushrod tube up and out of the way) and roll the rear tire (like your going forward) until the intake pushrod is at its lowest point. Once it is, continue rolling the tire until the piston comes to the top. Once it is at the top, both pushrods will be at their lowest point on the cam lobes and both pushrods can be adjusted at the same time.

After waiting for the lifters to bleed down, repeat for the rear cylinder.

I'm not sure how this applies to a colonoscopy...
