Default Ajustable pushrod question

Replacing my inner cam bearings and tensioner inspection , Does anyone make a adjustable push-rod so you can re use the original covers? Thanks

Some you can, not sure which ones but why? it's a real PITA, not much room to adjust. Why not just reuse the OEM pushrods?

Forum sponsor Fuel Moto sells quick install adjustables (made by Smith Bros) that can be used with the stock size covers.

I cut the old rods out already, thanks for the fuel motto info did not want to have to buy new covers also, just the rods.

I like the SE tapered rods. They come with new tubes and all new o-rings and you can get them from Surdyke for about $130.

IMHO, Smith Brothers are the best pushrods available but there is nothing quick about the Smith Brothers quick install pushrods
