push rod purchase
Went with the Smith Bros. Easy install..allows me to keep the oem tubes. Plus I like that they appear more stout than the S&S quickees. Cam goes in next week! 57H

Very good. I went with Fuelings adjustable push rods, which appear very similar to the Smith Brothers. They also use the stock tubes but I find them somewhat of a pain to install and adjust. The S&S quickies seem much easier to adjust and there is more room with the shorter tubes. I think I will try them next time around.

I went with the S&S quickies. The new tubes look nice and make it very easy to access the adjustment nuts....unlike pushrods using the stock covers. With the quickies, there is no need to remove the lifter blocks either. The quickies are robust and strong, so don't fret over assumptions. Been running mine for several thousand miles. Not a single issue and the 32 pitch thread allows for some precise adjustments and secure jam nut sets. Top quality construction for sure. But what else would S&S produce?

Fuel moto adjustable push rods was what I went with on my 96" and TW-555 cams, it also helped having there video right in front of my while installing that I could pause and start at any time even though I had seen it ten times before I started the install to make sure I had every thing I needed!

I rather thought so...their tech support is superb...you get to talk to a person, not submit an email. Anyway, I am pleased with the product, very stout. Install pdf couldn't be any simpler.

I bought mine through Fuel-Moto for exactly the same reason.
