Harley Adjustable Pushrod Install
1999 Wide Glide
I am trying to decide which cams to install (Gear driven or Chain driven) but I want to go ahead and install the SE adjustable pushrods now with the stock cams and install the cams and bearings in about three weeks. I know I will need to remove the oil from the engine before changing the cams in order to avoid making a mess. But do I need to remove the oil from the engine if I only want to change the pushrods?
Thanks,
Haywood

Be smart and go with gear driven cams, when you make your choice. There is absolutely NO GOOD REASON to continue with chain driven gears.

Be careful when dealing with Wally's. They have a very poor reputation. Hope you never need to return anything to them. Just a heads up.
Try these guys in the future: www.partsthatfitHD.com and ask for Brad. They garentee to beat anyone's price and give you a great customer service. Its a small mom and pop operation that deserves a try.

You absolutely MUST go to gear drive! If you don't, eventually your engine will destroy itself!!! Chain driven cams are the weak link in the Harely motor! (only the Twin Cam has Chain's, ...chains $uck, to put it bluntly...[&o]) Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a MUST DO !!!!!!
Alot of folks like the Andrews T-37 Gear driven cams. I PERSONALLY swear by the S&S 510G cams. S&S parts are simply the best!!!!
The 510G's are the largest that I know of that will work with the rest of your stock valvetrain. You go bigger, break out the credit card![&o]
Go with the 510G's and a Power Commander III and DYNO tune. As long as you're not allergic to revving the motor al ittle, you'll be fine! Unless you have a bagger, as they're heavier, and need a less radical cam!![&:]
