S&S Cycle Time-Saver Adjustable Pushrods For Harley Twin Cam 1999-2017
S&S Time-Savers: The Smartest Valvetrain Upgrade for Twin Cams
The S&S Cycle Time-Saver Adjustable Pushrods for 1999-2017 Twin Cam models represent the 2026 pinnacle of valvetrain efficiency. For the Harley-Davidson enthusiast, a cam upgrade is the most effective way to gain power, but traditional solid pushrods require the complete disassembly of the top end, including the fuel tank and rocker boxes. S&S engineered the Time-Saver series to bypass this labor-intensive process. By utilizing a collapsible, adjustable design, these pushrods can be “shortened” to fit into place and then extended to the perfect length once inside the engine. This allows for a secure, industrial-strength installation that drastically reduces the complexity of Stage 2 builds. In the 2026 performance market, these pushrods are the essential foundation for any rider looking to modernize their 88, 96, 103, or 110ci Twin Cam engine.
High-Strength Chromoly and Tactical Precision
What sets the S&S Time-Savers apart in the 2026 marketplace is their uncompromising structural integrity. Many adjustable pushrods on the market suffer from “flexing” under the pressure of high-lift performance cams, which can lead to lost horsepower and increased valvetrain noise. S&S manufactures these units from heavy-wall chromoly steel tubing, providing the stiffness of a one-piece rod with the versatility of an adjustable unit. The threaded adjuster features a specialized nut-and-lock system that prevents the pushrod from “backing out” or losing its setting under the intense vibrations of a V-Twin engine. Every pushrod is finished with a proprietary coating to resist corrosion and wear, ensuring that your 2026 valvetrain remains silent and synchronized through thousands of miles of heavy touring or aggressive street riding.

Expert Installation & Performance Advice
As specialists in V-Twin engine architecture, we recommend the Time-Savers for any cam installation. Pro Tip: When adjusting these pushrods, you must ensure the cylinder you are working on is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke; this ensures the lifters are on the “base circle” of the cam. Installation Note: Most S&S adjusters require 4 full turns (24 flats) to achieve the standard .100″-.125″ preload on hydraulic lifters, but always verify the thread pitch of your specific 2026 kit. Maintenance Note: Allow the lifters to “bleed down” for at least 15-20 minutes after adjustment before rotating the engine to prevent valve-to-piston contact. Safety Note: We highly recommend pairing these with S&S Precision Lifters and a fresh set of cam bearings to ensure the total reliability of your 2017-era Twin Cam during your 2026 journeys.
