Thanks for the advice guys, I guess the same goes for the rockers as well when I do the heads?, I hope I will be alright with the SE pushrods I have already purchased?

Not the best choice, that would be Smith Brothers.

No problems with the S/E pushrods that I am aware of. I use the tapered adjustables and haven't had any issues.

If a client comes in here with a good quality pushrod, we do not put our salesman hat on and try to convince them that one of our liking is going to be needed.
As long as they do not flex, the adjustment threads are in good shape, and the lock nuts do their job, then all is well.

Hi Scott,


What is the min diameter and wall thickness of a pushrod that won't flex? Honest question.
