hello everyone i have a 2003 honda recon thats just now started to smoke.ive tore down the top end and waiting on my parts but in the meantime i would like to ask this does anyone know how to line the push rods back? it looks like that will b my only concern after i change my rings and go back putting it togther.

 

On some Hondas the pushrods,after put back in the lifters will line-up when the valve cover gasket is in place.The gasket is formed so that it holds the pushrods at the proper angle to engage the rocker arms.

 

thanks i never really looked at that when i took it down the gasket came of with and thats what left the rods all free like and thats what made me think it would b difficult thanks for the help i cant wait to get the beast runing shes due for a good mud hole or creek ride.
