Pushrods, I would only run adjustable even though they look prone to bend at the threaded section. Pulling the heads just do do a cam or lifter block gasket is enough reason for me to not run solid pushrods, not to mention you can actually set the valves correctly.

my preference is adjustment at tapet, as owning an Evo kinda soured me on adjustment on pushrod
