  • We started to do a video on adjusting Panhead pushrods with solid valve lifters. But, stuff got in the way. So, that's why it's just prepping for the adjustments to be made in the next video.

    Hi Mike & Mike, thanks for another great video. "Petrol" is the contraction of petroleum in Britain and its former colonies, as "gas" is of gasoline in your part of the world. I don't remember the details of how the U.S. came to call it gasoline in the first place, but I think it was something to do with the application(s) of patents and so forth by certain individuals in the industry. I did see a video about it at some stage... Anyway thanks again, and I look forward to the next instalment. All the best from Oz! 👍👍🇦🇺

      Thank You. I kinda hoped someone would run with that while I stayed on course. And you, sir, did not disappoint.

    Thanks for yet another interesting video, Mike and Mike. I just finished rebuilding a spare gearbox with an Andrews close ratio gear set for my Frankenstein panhead, and I can't wait to try it, but I can't bring myself to take that bike off the road to do the job. And I have other bikes to ride. So I understand putting off tearing down Baby Doll's motor!

    Frustrating part about machines is having to remove unrelated parts just to get to the motor. Reassuring to see a seasoned expert have the same frustrations.

    How many kilometer do you run, to adjust the valvles?
    In all bikes is the same kilometers?

      If she's real happy, she's fine. I'm only removing the pushrods so I can replace the pushrod tube seals. Solid lifters should be checked when doing normal tuneup procedures. Hydraulics shouldn't need to be checked once they've been adjusted.
