Default push rods

does any one make push rods that do not have to be adjusted, i want to change cams but do not want adj pushrods in the motor. I know they are used everywhere, but i dont like them. I like the ideal of putting them in tighting them down and be done!

SE has "perfect fit" pushrods for their cams. Should work with other cams with the same base circle.

Quality adjustables are solid and work well. Less work/time to install and a wide range of lifter preload options. Tens of thousands of sets installed and working well every day. But I guess it's what makes you happy.

it is for 2013 ultra, will prob use se cams so i dont have to use adj pushrods. I never liked solid lifters in my race cars because you were allways readjusting them. feel like adj push rods would be the same thing. just my weird thing.

Why not just re-use your stock pushrods?

If your pushrods are adjusted correctly, and assuming you are using hydraulic lifters, you just set 'em and forget 'em!

If you are keeping the stock factory heads, you can use your stock push rods with these
cams SE203, SE204, SE211, SE253, SE254, SE255.

You mean removing the rockers, taking out stock pushrods, changing cams, putting in the new pushrods, tightening down the rockers, and then being done?

Adjustable pushrods are not even close to the same thing.
