    Gap between intake push rod and rocker arm

    Hello Everyone, I had a leak on my buell xb12ss push rods cover O-rings. I removed the rocker cover to have access to that o-rings. I replaced the cylinder head gasket and installed all the screws as says the manual. The problems are that after doing this, the push rod is not touching the rocker arm. The push rod is visually lower that it should be. Do you guys have any suggestion of what it could be? I can post a photo later

    Sounds like you put the wrong pushrod with the wrong valve. Swap the rods and you should be good to go.

    As long as you didn't bend the longer pushrod on the wrong rocker.

    Good point. Take them and roll them on a flat surface to check if one got bent
