You can also remove lifter covers to install non quick installs.

Non quick install pushrods require the removal of the rocker supports.

Not sure what you are referring to as Lifter Covers.

Even with an Evo, you don't have to pull the rockers. I just swapped out a high lift woods cam last night. took about 2 hours...

Finished up I did four turns plus 2 flats for a total of 26 flats and it made a huge difference in valve noise. Bike runs good and is extreamly quiet now. The fuel moto pushrods were simple to install and I am glad I went with them thanks for the help
