The pushrod has a thread nearly the whole length with two nuts on it. One nut is a special type as it has a dome machined on one end that rests on the fork. The pushrod actually goes through the fork.
I don`t really know the 6cyl set up but on my 1600 with the dogleg it has an adjustable rod. Maybe there are two types of forks to suit the different pushrods? Put the spring back on anyway.
