push rod noise

[Joke•ster]

Is there a certain time or mileage that the push rods need adjusting.
Last couple of times I took the bike out noticed a noise from push rods getting louder
. The bike runs great,doesnt skip or anything.same power performance just seems louder
Any advice would be appreciated. tappet screen looks good. just changed the oil 'Amsoil 20/50"
found a youtube video that looks easy enough if i get the timing right

Great explanation. Thanks Franco. one quick question, would the timing/EHC problems make these rods go out of adjustment.?

Nope! I don´t think so.... push-rods only work the valves.... nothing electrical! (and viceversa)
