which is exactly why i asked him, he said you didn’t say it needed them... he also told me that mobile1 vtwin was “too slippery and only use Hd oil”...

"Too slipery" he said? What a pant load.

Since we are already a bit off topic, I hope the OP doesn't mind the piggyback (no slippery jokes required). I currently have the HD Torque Cam. When I swap for an aftermarket cam and tuner, I can reuse the SE adjustable push rods, correct? I will plan to put new lifters in but wasnt sure if the wear on push rods needs to match the wear on the lifters. Thanks in advance.
