Pushrods
So i'm getting read to bolt up my SE heads on my 98 evo. Can i use stock pushrods with a 30 thousand head gasket? I dont want to run adjustables anymore. I have a set of taper lites in there now but bought new solids from harley. can i assume there is no difference in height of the SE and stock heads?

Just thought I'd rather go back to solid rods. Eliminate one possible problem if one ever loosened up. the rods i bought were stock size. The thinner head gasket it 15 thousands less. "IF" the heads are identical in height? That would put me 115 thousands into the lifter. Can anyone tell me if the SE & stock heads sit at the same height?

Mr Beernervet, Low and behold there was a factory instruction paper under the cardboard. Nothing in the instructions about pushrods. Instructions say dismantle per FSM and install per SFM with lots of other instructions about high lift cams and valve clearence and the like. So I'm think stock pushrods are Ok.
