Reusing adjustable pushrods on 103

hey everyone I'm new on the forum I've read plenty of threads over the years but never joined. My question is I have a 14 street glide with se255 cam and se adjustable push rods. I'm now doing heads and woods 777 cams. When disassembling top end I removed pushrods thru rocker box when it was apart now when I get the heads back and I'm reassembling is there and reason to readjust the pushrods and install them as you would without disassembling the rocker box or is it ok to just install them thru rocker box and leave them how they were? Thanks

You will need to readjust the pushrods. Differences in head gaskets alone is enough to change the adjustment. Now you have changed the cams they definitely need to be readjusted.

I would readjust because I am **** retentive. However, if the heads have not been decked, the cam base circles and head gaskets are the same, there is no need to readjust; same as it would be with fixed length pushrods.......
