Say you only need to replace one pushrod. All the other pushrods are steel. Is it ok to replace the one with a chromemoly?

Lowend 10-12-2005, 07:48:00 PM Its ok, but you need to have guideplates with chromeoly pushrods. I'll just state that pushrods do not fail on their own. Its pretty rare to find only one that is bent in an engine. The bent pushrod is an indicator of some other valvetrain failure. ------------------ 1971 Camaro 383 stroker ~500HP M21 4spd 12" brakes 16x10" Wheels Autocross competitive Engine Designer - The Speed Merchant, San Jose, CA http://www.speedmerchant.com/ Redge 10-13-2005, 12:58:00 AM Yeah the valve spring is broken too. |
