Push Rod Covers

When you go to adjustable push rods, what are the best sealing covers to use? I have seen the S&S, I heard they were hard to get the clips on.

Don't know what the best are, but Head Quarters sells a set. The main body is shorter than the stock one which gives you more room to get the wrenches in. Sounds like a good idea to me.

RE: Push Rod Covers

It doesn't matter, often adjustable pushrods come with covers. There is little difference between covers, other than cost, e.g. billet, etc.

RE: Push Rod Covers

Do you use an installation tool? If so which one?

RE: Push Rod Covers

Colony makes some nice pushrod covers. They make the standard ones with a 1.5 inch clip, shorter ones with a 3" clip for adjstable push rods, and billet covers. Theat are nice pieces and do not leak.
