Fuel Moto EZ Quick Install Pushrod Installation & Adjustment Guide
Proper installation is key to ensuring smooth engine performance. Follow these steps for a seamless Fuel Moto EZ Quick Install Pushrod Installation and adjustment process.
Step 1: Remove Stock Pushrods
- Disassemble the pushrod tubes to access the stock pushrods.
- Rotate the engine to top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for each cylinder before cutting.
- Find TDC:
- When both timing marks on the crank and cam sprockets align, the rear cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke.
- Rotate the crank one full revolution until the cam sprocket timing mark faces 180 degrees from its previous position. This sets the front cylinder at TDC on the compression stroke.
- Cut the stock pushrods using a bolt cutter. Ensure you cut them at TDC on each cylinder respectively.
Step 2: Install & Adjust Fuel Moto EZ Pushrods
- Install the pushrods and factory tubes, working one at a time.
- Confirm TDC on the compression stroke before adjusting each pushrod.
- Extend the pushrod to zero lash, ensuring it seats correctly in the rocker arm. There should be no up-and-down movement.
- Adjust the pushrod per the lifter manufacturer’s specifications (typically 3.5 turns for Wood Performance, S&S, and OEM lifters).
- Tighten the jam nut to secure the adjustment.
- Allow lifters to bleed down completely before rotating the engine.
- This step prevents valve-to-valve contact and possible cylinder head damage.
- The pushrods will rotate easily with your fingers once the lifters have bled down, which typically takes 20-30 minutes.
- Rotate the engine and repeat the process for the other cylinder.
Quick Tips for a Smooth Installation
- Replace pushrod tube O-rings when installing new pushrods to prevent leaks.
- Wait for the lifters to bleed down fully before rotating the engine to avoid damage.
- Double-check all adjustments before starting the engine.
