Quick install pushrod, readjustment?
Who has installed quick install pushrod? How often, if at all, do they require readjusting? I purchased the SE quick installs and am looking at installing them this weekend. Thanks!

Once set they should be good no readjustment necessary. I use the S&S quickees and chose to put a small drop of blue locktite on the jam but threads but it's not necessarily called for.

Will adjust for the expansion. Don't have the pushrods yet, but will let you know the pitch once received. Thx!

Based on these instructions, I think they are 24 TPI. Keep us posted.

My bad....I misread that the OP had S&S pushrods, but he has SE.

S&S has a chart on there website saying for the 24TPI, turn 18 flats, not the 15 flats your chart shows. I've emailed S&S, telling them my setup, and hoping to hear word from them. Not sure how there customer service is.
