    Upon repairing an oil leak from my push-rod seals;I noticed the push rods are
    slightly different in length(SCREAMIN EAGLE ajustables).I think the longer one is
    for the exhaust side but don't remember since I did the 95" kit.Does anyone
    have an answer?...THANKS!!!

    Two shorts, two longs. Front to rear: Long, short, short, long. If you get confused, look at the relationship of the tappet block to the head. Since the tappet block is the narrowest point, the front exh then the front intake, rear intake and then rear exh is in an arc around the blocks.

    Stock p-rods on EVO's are four lengths color coded. This is not needed on adjust-ables as you are setting the length.

    This is very interesting. I did not know Twin Cams adjustable push rods came in two different lengths. I learn stuff all the time here.

    This thread reminded me of my first special tool I had to buy for my Harley.... a bolt cutter.
