NOTE: Observe correct location of pushrods. S&S pushrod kits have longest pushrod for front exhaust, next longest for rear exhaust, shortest for rear intake,
and remaining one for front intake. Remove all traces of old rocker housing gaskets from cylinder head, taking care to contain debris.

Debris such as gasket material can interfere with oil circulation resulting in engine damage not covered under warranty.

3. Inspect S&S rocker cover assemblies. Remove rough or sharp edges from plain (unchromed) assemblies. Clean all metal parts with solvent. Dry

with compressed air and remove any solvent residue with clean, lint free cloth.

4. Beginning with the upper portion of the rocker box. Install o-ring (50-7963) into rocker shaft bore. See Picture 2, below left. Make sure the

o-ring is completely seated in its groove. See Picture 3, below right.

NOTE: Although S&S® rocker shafts for shovelheads look like late model 1984-’99 rockers, you must in use S&S rocker shafts with S&S rocker boxes. See
Picture 4, below.

5. Apply a small amount of oil/assembly lube to the rocker shafts rocker arm bushings and o-ring prior to installing rocker, and shaft into the

rocker box.
