Adjustable Push Rods
I was just wondering which pushrods are the best.
I have used chrome molly and somehow managed to bend all 4 and am currently running some screaming eagle which I was told was better.
Does anyone have any other ideas?

When we were all riding Shovelheads and Ironheads we used to dream of hydraulic lifters that you didn't have to adjust....now we have them y'all wanna go back to the dark ages.
The ONLY advantage is that you can be lazy if swapping a cam or lifters but the potential problems caused by adjustable rods don't outweigh the tiny advantages in my opinion....I never use them....have fitted them for others, hated them, never again.

The reason I'm asking is that I have to replace the O rings on the pushrod tubes.
And only on the front jug.
I already have adjustable and not really planning on buying more at this time it is just a future reference question.

I have never hit the rev limiter or anything over 5k.
I'll be damned if I know how they got bent.
