Solid Tappet Kits for 1966-84
Shovelhead are made from
aircraft quality 4130 seamless
chromoly tubing. Extremely
rigid, resists flexing even when
used with radical cams and
high spring rates. Lighter than
stock pushrods. Lengths are
as long as possible for added
rigidity of adjuster. Each set includes 4 pushrods and 4 adjust-
able solid lifter adapters. Smaller diameter than most moly
pushrod sets for clearance in pushrod cover tubes. Instructions
included. Fits stock or .200 longer stroker cylinders.
VT No. 11-9545
Solid Pushrod Conversion
fits 1966-84 Shovelheads.
We put the adjuster into the
lifter body to increase the
stability of the pushrod at
greater angles. A tapered
split lock nut is used for the best way to lock the adjusting
bolt into the lifter body. We use a ⁵⁄₁₆-32 extra fine thread for
easier and close adjustments. Pushrods are long enough to
accommodate engines with stroker cylinders. Alloy pushrods
have hardened steel tips.
