Jam nuts for SE adjustable push rods ???
I read some where that there is a guy that sells after market nuts for about 5 bucks a piece. Not sure if it was here but this is where I get most of my info. I will be putting in a cam soon and would like to get the hardened nuts while everything is a part. Has anyone heard of this guy ? Thanks ...

The guy to contact is Ron Head Roadking2000@charter.net
Got my upgraded nuts for the SE tapered from him for $20.00.
Well worth the piece of mind. Great guy to deal with.

I still use the pushrods but I use the machined G8 nuts that Poorboy sells.

No judgement on anyone else, installed my SE tapered adjustable pushrods 2 years ago and zero problems.

You are lucky; maybe you got the upgraded hardware. I have lost two pushrods to broken nuts; the last time the nut bounced around on top of the lifter, dislodged the lifter retainer and the oil pump swallowed it; instant loss of oil pressure. So, it's not hype; I know several others that had similar results with the early sets.

I just installed a set of SE push rods in my friends 06 FLHX last weekend...I cant imagine how much TQ you would have to put on them to break a nut....however I'll bet its a whole lot. ..... I see no problem with them. That said, please no one tell my friend, as he worries more than a preacher in a strip club.
