Alot of different opinions on pushrods...some like the peace of mind with the stocker one piece without the chance of the nuts comin loose & some like the convenience of the perfect fit so ya don't have to take the top end apart! Both work well, myself...I knew I'd be changin cams often so went the convenience route & love the perfect fit push rods! Sure they're probably not the absolute best but I don't care, I've never had an issure with them & I love em

Well put chad. I have been running tappered adjustables for awhile with no issues. It has made changing my cam (3 times) a breeze, lol.

I just check to make sure the fvckers are staying tight every once in awhile to be sure.

$130 vs. an extra 20 minutes of wrenching off/on the rockers?

Simple math.

Does it matter what cam you go with? Getting ready to put a Andrews 57h in & Ive read that some like the adjustable due to cam base lobe grinds being different than stock or being able to make things tighter and pull some of the valve train noise out?

Is that an issue that makes adjustables the way to go? I don't see why so many seem to do it, as pulling the tank and rocker covers doesn't seem like that big of a deal, then to add on the as other mention with additional weight & possibly coming loose?

Andrews has a phone # on their website. Call them and they'll let you know. When I installed my Andrews 48's I found out that with an 030 head gasket, the stock one piece pushrods were the correct length, so that's the way I did it.
