1. Drain the fuel tank 2. Remove the tank 3. Remove the entire exhaust system 4. Remove the rocker boxes 5. Remove old pushrods. Using adjustable pushrods will save at minimum, an hour of your time vs. solid pushrods. I have never had an adjustable pushrod back off or come loose. Never. Also, if you use the little tapered tool from Jims to correctly align the rocker boxes when you bolt them on, the adjustable pushrods will not rub on a pushrod tube. Also, some engines like to have a tad more preload in the lifters. With adjustables, it's easy. With solids, you are stuck with what you have. |

I am not saying I will never go to adjsutable.
But they do come loose once in awhile. Maybe due to improper set up. But if I got the top end off anyways, why bother going to adjsutable,as so many do when doing builds? Also I don't change cams, like a women changes shoes. |

And with Perfect Fit you get lighter and stronger that stock. Mine are the -.030 to make up for the milled heads and thinner head gasket.

I don't like adjustable straight-wall aluminium pushrods, too fragile. But, I defy anyone to take a Rivera tapered aluminium pushrod and bend it with their bare hands. |
