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?

 

I have been happy with my Smith Bros EZ install push rods. They are pricey but well worth it in my opinion.

 

That's what ya get for revving into the red zone all the time.....

 

Who me????????
Hell I never get it over 2k rpm....

You believe me don't ya????????

 

Allways herd chrome molly was better. I have not bent any yet. Could be in the adjustment?

 

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.

 

Maby im gettin old but i dont get why anyone would constantly overrev. a motor that is designed as a high torque low rev. unit to the point were you bend all the pushrods ???
Sorry texas., but i just dont get it ?

 

Sorry Texas., just saw the post about needing to replace the orings only.
You had me going there .
My appoligies regarding guys who ride Harleys like crotch rockets.

 

To be honest I never go over 5k and 90% of the time I shift at 4k or lower.
I have never hit the rev limiter or anything over 5k.

I'll be damned if I know how they got bent.
