Which Adjustable Push Rods? (TC 88) : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

TRStone_00 · 10-29-2009, 01:03 PM

I'm sure this has been answered before... I have a 2002 TC-88 and I want to open the cam chest to inspect and to measure my crank run-out to see if I can use gear driven cams. I also intend to put a little better of a cam in there when that work is done. I will evendetually need to cut my stock pusrods and want to put in Adjustables. But I have read all sorts of warnings about the lock nut cracking on the SE adjustable rods

So what should I use?

Get a set from Zippers or Smith Brothers...

I have a set of the SE Tapered's new in the package sitting on the shelf for my engine build and now I may be buying a set of Smith Brothers to replace 'em.

S&S offers a complete kit with tubes, but Smith is coming to market in 2 weeks with their set-up, that is ging to be a home run.

By no means am I one of the premier Vtwin motor builders, but I have built many V-8's for the strip over the last 30 years. So when I started playing with V-Twins I researched most parts and settled with Smith Brothers. Both my builds have them and as far as I am concerned all my future builds will have them. I usually stick with what works.
