Sorry, one last question. When you say finger tighten, I'm wondering how
tight this means. I was told that I should tighten the adjuster until I can
no longer spin the pushrod in the guide... basically until the slop is gone.
Is this enough, or do you mean to tighten them down hard with your fingers.
Sorry about being picky, but I'm trying to avoid taking things apart for a
4th time. :o
