Default What would you use (pushrods)

Asking for a friend who i will be helping install a cam on his Evo (1997) He was adamant that he does not want to crack open the rocker boxs . (I tried to talk him into it) With that said what EZ Install pushrod would you use or recommend? I have googled till i'm blue in the face and its all over the board of which to use. any real life suggestions as I'm sure some of you use them.

I was leaning towards Smith Bros or Primo Rivera Taper lites. has anyone used smith brothers and are you able to use the stock PR covers

Get the S&S adjustables.
They are beefier than the others and thus harder to bend.

This and make sure your buddy understands if he doesn't want to open the rocker boxes you will need to cut the OEM pushrods to get them out, Small bolt cutters are the tool of choice for this.

I didn't want to crack em open or remove the gas tanks. I used Rivera but only because I got a good deal on them.
