ditto. only thing adjustables are good for is measuring for length, I would never install them for regular use... just way too much to go wrong.

I thought they were for adjusting lifter preload once you went to an aftermarket (larger)cam. :fragez:

i thought they would give you more lift? like a diffrent ratio rocker arms?

do they not hold up well to stress? i thought a lot of tta owners ran them?
i guess i am wrong on this assumption.

Well the only way they would open the valve more is if the valve never closes, they are only good for setting to the correct length if a different length than stock is needed, but you would still be better with custom length pushrods if needed instead of adjustable ones.

The real problem is they can get loose and change length causing all sorts of problems.

A buddy of mine tried using them, and he had nothing but problems with them.
They're good for finding the correct pushrod length, and then having
custom ones made to match. Pushrods only affect valve lift in a hydraulic
valvetrain when they're the wrong length and affect the internal
operation of the lifter. And then they only decrease effective valve lift.
