Default Question 06 fxd SE95" pushrods question

Okay so I'm doing a se 95" big bore kit on my 2006 dyna and was using the gasket supplied in the kit and the se203 cams that were included but I'm having my builder mill my heads 0.030 and I was wondering if using stock pushrods would be okay? Or would I need to buy adjustable pushrods?

You can run the stock pushrods. Even with a .030" head gasket, lifter preload would be about .045", which is manageable. Personal choice on this one......

BTW, I would be a little concerned that my builder couldn't answer that question................
