Push Rods

Hi all, I could use some help putting my engine together. My bike is a 2009 Electra glide with mufflers, air breather and pcv. from Fuel Moto, I picked up HD 103 cylinders with flat top pistons and se 255's. Big Boyz will be drilling the heads for acr's and polishing, I would like to know if I can use the stock push rods or do I need adjustable push rods.
Thanks in advance!

You've already got heads off so why spend the money and then have to worry about adjustment. JMO but the main reason most use adjustables is to save labor cost.

You can use the stock pushrods, however you cannot adjust them if required and they are not the most durable. Fuel Moto offers an adjustable tapered pushrod for $139.00 which is extremely durable, they work with the stock pushrod tubes, and we even offer a lifetime warranty. We also include a tool for holding the pushrod tube while making adjustments. There is more info at http://fuelmotousa.com/pushrods.htm
