If a guy can't adjust and tighten adjustable pushrods properly, he has no business going inside the camchest.

I choose NOT to use adjustable pushrods, for several reasons. All of which I'm sure you'd disagree with. I've never used them, never tried to use them.......

And yet, I have gone "inside the camchest" on several of my bikes with absolutely no problem......

FWIW....

That's not why this thread was made. Im well aware of how to adjust them. I just have chosen not to go that route and wanted more of a discussion on the forum about the topic.

Most do not go that route because it makes no sense to use them.

You are certainly welcome to your own opinion, but you stated it as if it were fact. I quoted you & responded, to offer the OP & you a different opinion.

I don't consider knowledge of adjustable push rods to be a prerequisite to changing a cam.... unless of course you plan to use them.

I wanted to let the OP know that there are some who are quite comfortable in a cam chest, that have little knowledge and no experience with adjustable pushrods.....

FWIW...

My '47 Knuckle head had stock adjustable pushrods . Never heard of anyone having a problem with them.
