Come hang out and watch as we show you how to replace the push rods and adjust the valve lash. As always, thanks for watching and stay tuned!

Great job brother!
whats the part number for the rods?
Btw I didnt hear you mention it but on my vanguard the pushrods are the same length but they aren't interchangeable one is steel and one is aluminum was yours not?
On this particular Vanguard, both were aluminum rods with steel end caps. We dont have a lot of these engines come through so i can’t say that all engines are the same, but it could be possible in certain applications that either the intake or exhaust side could have a different material of push rod. As long as you read and follow the service manual on valve adjustment, you should be ok.
Is this common? I recently replaced a vanguard 21 out of a truckmount carpet machine it has been a nightmare after installing it ran fine for a couple weeks than started making noise around the balancer i pulled it apart and the stator bolts all had vibrated loose till they hit the balancer ended up bending all four and all four broke off during removal anyway fixed all that it ran good for a couple months now its misfiring i mean damn its only 6 months old and I feel like using it as a boat anchor
yes sir we found a few to have the wrong lash or valve play you can google the right gap.
This is not very common. It can possibly happen if the rocker arm adjustments are not torqued properly, and eventually loosen and lose adjustment. In this case, i used a bit of thread locker on the rocker arm adjustment nuts so that they wouldn’t back off. Have not seen this unit back in for this problem since
