Default Adjustable pushrod question

I bought a set of adjustable pushrods from a yard sale last night for cheap. How do I tell if they are for an evo or not? Thank you

Yard sale pushrods? Are they un opened? They should have a manufacturer part #.

If they're out of the package, I wouldn't use them.

take a picture of them ( all 4 ) next to a ruler straight down so one can see the total length - as they make maybe 30 different sizes of pushrods for all the harleys

You need to take accurate measurements ... the reason being that even with stock, OEM, out of the factory push rods, there can be significant variances. The problem being though that not many folks have long enough micrometers to do so.

If they are straight, e.g. roll them on glass and observe, there is no reason not to use them.

I have a set of standard 1340 EVO pushrod and a set of Johnsons' -.050" at hand, the later of which are also more accurately manufactured to size. I might be able to help you compare if you can measure yours up ... but you're not going to pick up on a few 10s of thou with a wooden rule or tape measure.

Could you take them to a local dealer and ask to size them up against new ones?

They are adjustable, I don't recognise which brand, so what's the problem? You don't want to risk stripping your own ones out to try against these? No code markings on them?

I found my answer. They are twin cam ones.. They only go to like 10.5 and evos go past 11inches.. Thanks for the replies though. If you know anyone looking for a set of adjustable push rods for a twin cam let me know.. Lol
