Author Message   X1torq Posted on Friday, June 01, 2012 - 08:08 pm:        so i ordered a 1250 from nrhs. long story short i got both cylinders and pistons in. but when i put the rockers on the push rods theres a gap between the panel and the top of the head. pretty sure i have the rods as low as they will go. dont wanna bolt it on until i solve this. is it ok to go ahead and tighten it down. manual doesnt give any info upon this subject. any of you guys happen to come across this. would love to go ridin this sunday   Jramsey Posted on Friday, June 01, 2012 - 08:56 pm:        Have you rotated the crank to TDC for the cylinder in question to get the lifters on the cam base circle(zero lift)?
