For $100 adjusters I can Smith Bros. For $200 adjusters I call Trend or Manton. The adjusters are usually $160-170 and add another Andrew for nuts.
My Flat tappet stuff gets Smith.

How often do you check? This is something that has been bugging me for a while and has kept me from completing my hemi build. Dave

Well I'm going with the Smith Bros. adjusters. My current springs are only 365# open with a mild SFT so I think they should do the job. I don't know what adjusters RAS uses on their rockers but in changing all of them. A good buddy(10 second GTX) gave an old Crane adjuster to get me through the weekend at Norwalk Gus

Dave I was only checking once twice an event, but for other reasons I am now checking every pass. Not necessarily for push rod issues but all things valvtrain related
