| Chromoly steel pushrods and solid adjustable tappet kit for Shovelheads |
The company says of its 4340 chromoly steel pushrods and solid adjustable tappet kit for Shovelheads: "Despite advancements in hydraulic lifters, solids are still the way to go for maximum power. Most engine builders agree that solid lifters can withstand more aggressive cam profiles and higher rpm.
"In the case of Shovelheads, just because the engine is an older design doesn’t mean you have to settle for anything less than the best. Our top quality 4340 steel pushrod and adjustable solid lifter kit for Shovelhead engines delivers stability, strength and durability."
